A brief note to JW

Kasia March 2nd, 2009

Yes, you’ve been banned.

I gave you far more chances than anyone – my husband included – thought you deserved.

I gave you a comment policy so you would know what was out of bounds. You repeatedly violated it. Either you chose not to read it (your own fault) or you read it and knowingly violated it (also your own fault). You spit on my e-floor one time too many. Man up and accept the consequences (which were also laid out in the policy).

Comparing my banning you from commenting on this blog to Nazism is inflated rhetoric that minimizes the atrocities of the Holocaust.  The fact that  you stooped to insinuate it is spitting on the graves of the millions of people who died as a direct result of Nazism. Shame on you.

You are in no danger of being hauled off by some new Gestapo and jailed without trial. You’re not even in danger of having your computer taken away. You just don’t get to comment here anymore.

There are millions of fora on the Internet that you can use, but even if there weren’t, I don’t owe you a forum. See the earlier post (and comments) on “An Imposition on Digi and/or Kit” for further details.

I won’t stop you from reading the blog (which I could do by making it invitation-only), but you have indefinitely lost your commenting privileges.

Deal with it.

    Ouchie.

    I think this is called a smack-down.

    Sheesh, my computer has been down, and I missed all the comments–but I am standing up and applauding you louldly> When people comment on our blogs–they are guests and need to be respectful.

    Go girl! :D

    In all honesty…there were a few times I was surprised (and almost offended) at what was written by him…and it takes A LOT to offend me!!!

    Kasia – I’ve had a nasty, vile troll from New Jersey, bugging me for many, many weeks. He’s bothering Catholic Mom in Minnesota and I just found out he’s bugging Swatting at Flies.

    Do you know your troll or could it be the same wacko?

    I put on comment moderation but he/she just keeps leaving comments.

    Adrienne, I’ll also leave this on your blog, but on the off chance you don’t see it there – no, not the same guy. I know JW. However, your guy could be the same one who’s been bugging Foxfier…

    Nah, mine left a few months back when I required an open ID or blogger account to comment.

    I have a weird troll who stops by annually or so from Florida. Once every year or two isn’t worth it to me. You’re not really famous until you have to ban someone. :)

    Well…I haven’t been following, so I don’t know what JW did recently, but hey, good riddance!
    xoxo
