Goodbye Will Twain: A ratfucker unmasked

[MADem]

390. I think it would cut down on a lot of the bullshit. And we are seeing a lot of bullshit of late.

I can't imagine what MIRT is going through--we only see the tip of the iceberg. But the tip of the iceberg I'm seeing around here lately could sink a couple of Titanics. It's really eroding the DU sense of community, I think--and of course, that's their disruptive, shitty, childish little goal. I can't fathom how INADEQUATE a person must be--not feel, BE--to run around trolling a little website on the internet for fucking years on end, over a doggone DECADE! I mean, talk about a "life's work." Pffft! More like a complete and total waste of life and time--so ... humiliating, to have that as one's "legacy."

There was a troll who was outed on Reddit a while back--he was a really dispicable guy, who used to post sexist, just-shy-of-porn, "barely legal" type pics. He used to be a real asshole about it and wouldn't respond to any calls or efforts to encourage him to do the decent thing. Once his face and name hit the "real world" his life was never the same--and not in a good way, either. You'd think these idiots would start to figure out that the net is becoming more like the food court at the mall...people might not know who YOU are, particularly, but your anonymity is never assured--you could run into an old high school friend while waiting in line at Panda Express who bellows your name to all assembled.

I think people would do well to just treat people as if they're looking them in the face. I have no problem with strong political or even social differences, so long as they aren't vicious or troll-y and don't violate the TOS. I mean, why are people here if they don't want to abide by the "club" bylaws? Can their lives be THAT empty and desperate? It's just a puzzlement to me!
