		<description>Well, she&#039;s correct - the Bible clearly states that a man who has sex with a man is to be killed.  A woman who has sex with a woman isn&#039;t mentioned.  Christianity and Judaism are both based on this book, and the book is completely unambiguous.

So let&#039;s state the obvious:  Christianity and Judaism are mostly bullshit.  The Bible is bullshit.  I&#039;ve read Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Matthew.  As far as I am able to tell at this point, the Bible is nonsense.  If the parts that I haven&#039;t read yet prove me wrong, I&#039;ll admit my fault and apologize.  But I don&#039;t believe in what it says.  

I don&#039;t believe, for example, that people who contract a venereal disease should deal with the problem by bringing to doves to the priest so he can sacrifice them.  I don&#039;t spend a lot of time, for example, deliberating about whether or not dwarfs or people with crushed testicles should be allowed near the alter.  I don&#039;t think, for example, that it&#039;s acceptable to sell my brother into slavery, as long as I follow certain guidelines.  This is the content of the Bible.  NON. SENSE.

There are some good ideas in Christianity and Judaism, but you certainly don&#039;t have to be a Christian or a Jew to learn them.  I understand that there are cultural aspects of these religions, and I respect that.  It&#039;s fine with me, because most of those people have never read the Bible, so they have no clue what they&#039;re worshipping.  Behavioral control is the purpose of religion in almost every case.  It&#039;s an impediment to spirituality.

This woman is an idiot.  And she will never understand how or why she&#039;s an idiot, but she&#039;s an idiot.</description>

		<description>While a bit more restrained than the other links you provided, this does fit the classic definition of a serial bully, and he is clearly not operating on his own, nor are you his only target.  He&#039;s pretty blatant, suggesting he feels there will be no consequences to his personal attacks on you and others.

A couple of things:

First, do not engage cyber bullies or their clique of weak minded followers.  All of us tend to respond to personal attacks from an emotionally charged perspective, which can wreck our own credibility, which is the ultimate goal of the serial bully.

Second, always report any personal attacks, regardless of the source.  However, do not tell the serial bull or their followers that you&#039;ve done so.  I understand it will be pretty obvious who reported whom, especially given the blatant nature of the bullying going on, but why confirm it?

The site itself is owned by Interactive One, LLC (email MemberAdvocate@InteractiveOne.com), who is in turn owned by Radio One, Inc (email info@radio-one.com), a major media corporation.  If you&#039;ve already tried the abuse reporting links on the site (there is one on every forum post, it would seem), and nothing is being done about it, send a politely worded email to those email addresses.  

Be sure to include the two links I could not allow to be posted.  I&#039;m fairly certain a major corporation would strongly object to a cyber attack from one of their own holdings, which should speed up any response or action that would result from your complaint.</description>

		<description>I checked out the links you provided in this post, and had to delete them because the site attempted a security breach using a Java exploit.  That wasn&#039;t very smart of whomever runs that site, and it has been reported.  Fortunately, I have my own brand of security to deal with such issues, a necessity given the nature of the topics we cover here, so no harm done.  The link in your other post didn&#039;t result in a security breach, so I left it open for others to see what you are talking about.  While not as severe as what your original links pointed out, it does show a typical pattern classic for identifying a serial bully online, not to mention the weak-minded souls who grovel at their feet (figuratively speaking, of course).

I did have the opportunity to check the site out.  It does appear that cyber bullying is fairly common on that site, mainly a small group of juvenile &quot;men&quot; engaged in bullying against any woman who questions, well, anything that appears to apply to them.  

For the benefit of those who are unable to see the examples you told me about...

Both the links were to forum threads on the site, in which Nachalle and other women were repeatedly subjected to misogynistic personal attacks.  The attacks were completely unprovoked, and totally unrelated to anything the women may have said on other parts of the site.  The attacks came exclusively from &quot;men.&quot;

I had, at first, thought that perhaps the site owners and administrators were simply inept at running a commercial &quot;dating&quot; site, since permitting such an unsafe online environment for women is not conducive to sound business practices for that type of commercial enterprise.  

But, after a bit of research, I have to conclude the site intentionally permits such behaviors.  In this particular case, it would appear any self-confident, educated, independent woman who expresses an opinion or viewpoint that runs counter to a clique of weak-minded immature men.  The behaviors exhibited by these &quot;men&quot; runs totally contrary to the self-descriptions they provide of themselves, which definitely fits the pattern of a cyber bully.  There appears to be a concerted attempt, particularly based on some of the &quot;petitions&quot; I saw, to get rid of any woman on the site that exhibits any sign of self-worth, or an IQ above room temperature.

One can speculate, probably accurately, as to the motivations of such &quot;men.&quot;</description>

This is also another forum where the moderator harasses me in hiding.

&quot;gvsl1m&quot; is another screen name who constantly harasses me.

		<description>Every time I post on this web-site I am constantly being harassed and cyber-bullied by the site&#039;s moderator and other members....they follow me with lies.  When I create a forum and say what SOME people do they say I had said ALL and they create these lies about me....Some members have multiple screen names and they follow me across the forum boards hacking my computer or finding out information about me and post my personal information on a forum....Like my full name, my job and where I live.  This site should be terminated because of the racism expressed against Black women along with their sexism.

The following cyber bullies on this site are:

Smack U Silly
Anubis noir
Byakuugan_Mod
SenorcafeDa2nd
KingJaffeJo
DroppinJewlz
Ncboi2004
Panther711
Loveon or loveon78
Mr dontplay2
[Link deleted by Admin due to exploit attack]


They create forums about me and insulting ones  as well the Moderator himself which is Byakuugan_Mod participates as well....

[Link deleted by Admin due to exploit attack]

Please excuse me using curse words as well I was only defending myself.





Thanking you in advance for your cooperation.

Peace.

		<description>When it comes to groups that oppress others, I do not particularly care what they call themselves, or how they spell it (intentionally or otherwise).  I take the threat they represent to others quite seriously, especially when their reasoning is hypocritical at best.</description>

		<description>As to the first one &quot;Most transgender women do not have the experience of growing up female in a sexist society and as such have no embodied experience of the culturally prescribed position of “girl”.&quot;  I think it is fair to say that we as a society oppress people raised as girls in a unique way, but we also oppress girls raised as boys in a unique way.  The experience of a hetero-cis black male being oppressed in our society is different from the oppression of a queer child, but that does not make one experience of oppression somehow less valid.  Trans woman and cis  woman experiences may be different, but they don&#039;t need to be the same to be equally valid and valuable.  But, that aside, I get what you&#039;re saying with the point, it&#039;s the notion &quot;You can&#039;t be a &#039;real&#039; woman because you weren&#039;t raised female&quot;.</description>
