Yep. I grasped your expansion as pertaining directly to that which is brought up here in this thread directly.

And you are so right about all of this ^ too!

Hmm. I try to 'get' the bigger pictures you and Mr Witchy chat about... but <shrug>...

[WitchyOoman]

i think you see a lot more than is there...sure those might be underlying issues on the forum that are on some peoples minds but i don't think is that depth this thread was comin from.

if it was dat angle dem did have in mind why dem tak the direction that some how X-man would have a solution as simple as a rule

Oh, Rich, I think we all of us (but for one) agree that it's all in one person's confused mind... BUT, that doesn't mean that it isn't a potential problem.

She-who-must-not-be-named* is only going to continue the nonsense 'til someone (an admin or mod, I don't mean any of the rest of us) stop her daily crap.



*Disclaimer: It was satire. And, of course, I don't own the copyright to that particular phrase, JKR does. But I know - since she permits fan fiction - she won't mind my use of it, especially in this context. Smaddy please contact her and ask her to come in here. Please!

jamaica whistle blower tings but widd malicious intent

And most assuredly the same person or tiny group of persons, too - all - who did these incidents.

And, frankly, if I did know or ever did discover who... still, I wouldn't say. Because that is the risk one takes when one posts online. Anything I did to out a person like that would only potentially screw up the victim's ability to sue for damages (if it the USA). There are consequences to every blasted action we take... if one iggles on j'com at work when one's employer won't like it - then one takes on that risk of getting caught by - or outted to - one's boss. Action ---> Risk ---> Could End in Consequence. <--- It's just that simple.
If one makes scurrilous (or even merely unsupported) statements publicly, one had best be prepared to own up to them. Screw anonymity. It doesn't work like that. (Hint: ANYthing said online is "publicly stated".)

[WitchyOoman]

who not defending anonymity?

Are you serious, Rich????? Really???

If smaddy is injured legally by smaddy else on J'com, and a Court subpoena is issued to Xavier, Xavier will either give up the other user's private info OR go to jail. Period.
There is absolutely NO GUARANTEE OF ANONYMITY on J'com because it is a public board.
(Different law can be applied to private boards, but since J'com is public/not private, this is irrelevant here.)

There simply is NO GUARANTEE OF ANONYMITY on J'com. That's the law, and all J'commers ought to be aware of this. (meaning users should already know it, not that Xavier needs to do anything special about it now)

husband got murdered juss aftah da ooman got married a yu playing seemantic bout grief and grievinn

ooman husband got murdered ann a person took da thyme and effart fe cantact ar ann ar family so dem cood respand to a tredd ann peeps woo qwestian da details aff wat reallee happened

badd minded ting

Very bad minded. There is absolutely no way that the niece of the woman who lost her husband through tragic circumstances just "stumbled" on the post. Some bad minded person definitely contacted her to stir up trouble. I have my suspicions but can't prove who it is. Maybe the coward will come forward and admit it.

natt accussinn lonwolf aff doinn aneeting

iss deer anee proof lonwolf sed dat imm didd?

Yes Lonewolf took it upon himself to track tracked down the woman (who says she was chopped by the machete)announced he had done that and posted her phone number and email address on here without her permission....he had not heard back from it. She had not posted her email address or phone number for the public or given permission for people to re-post it.

This is where he announced it:

http://www.jamaicans.com/forums/showthread.php?72781-Hunter-College-professor-recounts-terrifying-machete-attack-in-Jamaica/page3

The phone number and email address where there until RichD finally deleted them due to much pleading from me.

I looked up Miss Cassidy's email and contact information if anyone is interested.
I also shot her an email with a copy of some of the postings of this thread by those claiming that her story is fabricated and requested her response. Maybe she will respond to clarify or varify the story.

aneewan cood ave went to da college website wear shi wukk ann got ar email address so mii wood neva accuse

No need to accuse. Lonewolf announced what he had done and posted the woman's contact information without her permission. It is interesting that some people are defending him when over and over again he has posted information putting down Black people and justifying situations in which innocent Black people have been killed or harmed. Why? Simply because they don't agree with some of what I post. Crabs in a barrel comes to mind.

richd mii juss memba da sumwan pon yah contacted mi school ann tried fe gitt ar fired. dat was natt rite

sum aff da homosexuals pon yah woo got affended by wat mii poas sed dat iff dem eva find out mii info dem wood cum to wear mii wukk ann protest. inn a pc wurld itt bout oww peeps try fe censar statements dem doan like. mii will defend peeps rite fe sey ting mii doan like as lang as dem respekk mii rite to "free speech."

iss wat happen ann wat being discussed any diffarant dan de homosexual agenda to censar jamaica free speech rite cah dem doan like wen jamaicans bunn fiyah pon dem

Seeit deh....also remember what was done to Marilyn. What a wicked set of people to try to destroy someone because they disagree with them. That is why unless someone wants to divulge their identity and post their contact and other private information, no one has any business posting it. It is a violation of board rules. This has been established already earlier in this discussion. It is a violation of their privacy rights.

Yes, some way some bad minded bullies on here tried to find out who I was. Mi will call the name of one of them because the other one apologized to me LONG time privately and in public. I see that Tuffstuff who is one of the biggest bullies and stalkers on here has posted in this discussion. She has been on my permanent ignore list since her first of MANY attempts to bully me on here so I cannot see what she posts and neither do I care to see it. She was a moderator at the time (deark). She and another person who was a moderator at the time tried to find out my identity in order to intimidate and bully me because they did not like what I was posting. Once they thought they had done that, Tuffstuff started to distribute what she thought was my private information via PM. What a wicked woman. Fortunately she was wrong and barking up the wrong tree. Why did she do it? Simply because she and her partner in crime did not like what I was posting. Some people are truly delusional and cannot distinguish between a discussion board and real life. They need to GET a life.

That is why people are wise to hide their identity as there are some bad minded Internet bullies on here. Blugiant, imagine being so wicked as to try to get Marilyn fired, contact your school and try to find out who I was, bully me and make trouble for me. What a ting!!

deer ave been addar incidents pon yah ann included contactinn grievinn peeps relatives wen wi give opinions pon certain stories. opinions ar natt facts but even da facts ar qwestionable

jamaica whistle blower tings but widd malicious intent

I agree. It is truly wicked with malicious intent to disturb people just because they are losing an argument or they don't agree with something that has been posted...PARTICULARLY when someone is grieving or they've gone through a traumatic experience like being chopped with a machete (if we are to believe her). This is despicable.
