The good trolls are basically self-sacrificial. A good friend of mine makes the racists on Stormfront look like idiots by trolling them without them realizing it. It can be a weapon of good. However, I agree with you; everybody these days r

Three things. 1. I don't maintain a Facebook account because it's either family bickering and arguing, spam I don't give a shit about, arguments I don't give a shit about, or trolling. What some guy says on Facebook conc

I never claimed that he wasn't being an asshole. I just don't think he actually believes what people are debating in this (thankfully now deleted) thread. If I'm right, and I'm 98% sure I am, this thread where people are

I agree with you on rape-me, which is why I left it out. There's an American breed of thought which says that the mere mention of anything related to sex demeans women and objectifies them, which comes from puritanical sensibilities. I

I read him as brilliantly trolling Elad with everything that would trigger him to be pissed off. Simply a flawless troll against the social justice types, meant to be completely politically incorrect to infuriate the kind of person who woul

Yes. Filter gem names to block terrible, woman-hating names like retarded , therapist , hoe , and sex . A rake is an immoral pleasure seeker[1], better get rid of that one too! That will fix your community's problems, Ruby, becaus

When I took my new position, I stopped because it's in the peninsula. It was a recent transition. Before that I rode it daily for years. I'm not sure what you're getting at; in the first instance I'm referencing an aggre

Actually, you're the pretentious one here, using a device specifically labeled for emergencies to complain at someone every day about the cleanliness of the elevator. They're telling you it's not their job because you&#x2

Take a look at sneak's other comment nearby in this thread. Yours are more civil at least, but in the wake of these assault broadcasts there is always a knuckles fight like this. Everybody has an opinion . By spending hours of your ti

Hey, look who's here! Also, I am more terrified of absolutists like yourself than anything else I've seen in this thread. Period. Tell me, are you refreshing this thread constantly?

He has a point, though. Between you, sneak, and wilkie, I can see why people are hesitant to discuss this topic openly. It's almost like the three of you are looking for a fight on this topic and ready for all comers. Like if it weren&

Things would have been better if everyone in the situation acted like adults. No matter how detailed and specific the Code of Conduct, Adria probably would have done what she did anyway. Rather than worrying about the effects of shaming peo

...or "don't assault?" Also, my point is in no way exclusive to sexual assault. I'd make the same point if this were an accusation of anything.

I can count on one hand the number of times you need to click "parent" to read my original thesis that made this point. I didn't make the point until the latter half, and I appreciate that it is revealing the folks that pick

You missed the part where I said I had no opinion on the specific incident that resulted in my comment. Go back and read that part; I read someone's entire comment before replying and hope for the same respect in return. In particular,

And yet I worry about both because I realize that all victims deserve my sympathy and attention, regardless of how they were made a victim or whether there is enough of them to justify me giving them a second thought. And I'm saying th

Rape creates victims. False accusations create victims. Before you say "not the same!" they both often end in suicide. So, knowing that and knowing how difficult of a topic false accusations are to study and how little we know abo

I really don't want to get pulled into an argument on this because I've said what I mean to say, but your second sentence is really bold.

Imagine if the United States adopted the legal structure around the reporting of accusations in Britain. Nancy Grace would be out of a job overnight, and perhaps we'd see more successful libel verdicts. To explain: the media cannot rep

That wasn't remotely the thrust of my comments and you know it. I also (correctly) predicted you would hop on the bitter swan song instead of, you know, the half-dozen reasons why this sucks immediately prefacing it. Also, that's

Before leaving my comment, I searched and searched for any shred of reason for CloudFlare to release this inappropriate statement, including reading all of Rajiv's timeline. Obviously, since I left the comment, I came up empty. Can you

Devilishly clever marketing for Cloudflare, though. Clearly I need to spend my days on more bridge calls for situations affecting other ops teams that have nothing to do with me, so my company can put out a PR piece from a position of autho

You asked how they would enforce it. You did not ask for a likely outcome, you asked for possible outcomes. If you want specific answers, ask specific questions.

"Software Engineer" and "Site Reliability Engineer" are generic roles.

I assume, and hope, the manager emailed the team after I was walked. If not, I would agree.
