How cyber bullies stifle free speech.
Permalink  
 


I love the way they go on and on about free speech across the hall ... do I really want to see anyone's freedom of speech taken from them ... absolutely not ... but do I believe that my freedom of speech entitles me to say whatever I want about whomever I want ... absolutely not.

If the freedom of speech allowed for this there would be no slander, harassment, liable cases in any courts in this country ... because wouldn't the first amendment allow us to say anything without fear of any repercussions?
I was looking up cyber bullies on the Internet ... it is just my opinion but that is what I feel the kids across the hall are ... CYBER BULLIES ... and this is an interesting article that I came up with ... it shows that people like the DD gang are actually doing more harm to our first amendment rights than they are helping ... and when we lose some of our freedoms we can thank the likes of them ... take a look:

"The price of freedom of religion, or of speech, or of the press, is that we must put up with a good deal of rubbish." - Robert H. Jackson, U.S. Supreme Court 1941-54

Over the past eight years, I have written 75 columns for this space. During that time, I have had my share of both positive and negative responses. And that's okay. After all, I've put my name and face out there. Folks have applauded or taken issue with my politics, my career choice and my character in letters and phone calls to the editor and to my home. Even to my place of work.

In addition, I've also taken an increasing number of hits on the Nevada Appeal's Web site. Those responses however, tend to be much more heated and hateful. And the anonymity of the Web gives those writers cover.

It doesn't seem to matter whether I have written something political or personal, I am frequently astounded (shocked, saddened) by the comments from the inhabitants of the Appeal's Web site. I imagine them sitting at their computers, reading the paper (for free) and getting angry. Then, rather than yelling at the screen or kicking the dog, they fire off a comment. Others, probably just love stoking the flames, experiencing the rush of adrenaline brought on by the verbal sparring, without ever having to interact with a real human. They spread their hate anonymously, without fear of retribution or real-life consequences.

Now it is only an opinion ... but I have been across the hall reading today and well I do think that Dan Hubbard is a Cyber Bully ...

Take a look at just one of his posts that he wrote concerning the poster Rational Thought and his military service.

RE: RTK letter to Scr. Parking Auth. - cost of meter maids

I don't care who you are and I don't want to know either. You said it not me.

"Please NotaDumbBlonde, I have shed more than my share for this country. Please, tell me, have you even lived in a home(tent), in the desert, in 100+ heat, fighting crazy scumbags every single day? Well, I have, and maybe that changes how I feel about some things, but does that make me any less human."

Now your saying that you were only in danger a few times so what was it? Were you fighting "scumbags" everyday or not? I'm sorry that you couldn't pick up the phone or the net whenever you wanted but you knew that when you joined the military but to out right lie about being a combat vet is in my mind a insult to everything that my family has given to this country. I come from a military family. My great grandfather, grandfather, father, uncles all went to protect those rights that you feel that we take for granted, I honestly doubt that you served and until you could even remotely back up your statementI will stick to that comment. There are too many holes in your stories and they seem to change as soon as you were confronted about it. This issue is dear to my heart and I'm not going to sit here and allow you to dishonor those that have served and those that have paid the ultimate price so that I may enjoy the freedoms that I do everyday of my life and you have a set to sit there and question those of us that you feel take these freedoms and rights for granted. Your done in my book and I'll tell you one thing there are many on this site that stand up for our service men and would do anything to help them so you better be honest about this subject and again I do not care who you are but I feel that you should at least back up your comments with some proof of service. You obviously are not old enough or smart enough to appreciate the real sacrifices that have been made by servicemen and woman in this country if all your bitiching about is being able to log on or call home. They are not sacrifices. They are not sacrifices they are convienences. Rational thought you area fraud and in my mind a poor excuse for a american.




What makes Dan such an expert on military service??? Because his Great Grandfater, Grandfather, fathers .... uncles ... or cousins for that matter ... this makes Dan an expert ... I think not ... Dan does not say that he ever served ... and in my opinion the only way that Dan could use such harsh words and somewhat get away with it would be if he himself had served ... and even then it wouldn't make it right!

Who the hell is he to demand this information from anyone? A cyber bully!

One other thought just came to mind ... how come they demand proof of Rational Thoughts military service ... yet they ask for no proof to back up anything else posted across the hall ... what because Rational Thought has a mind of his own and he will not fall in line with the worshiping of Joe Pilchesky ... hmmmmm just a thought!

Dough-boy Dan is the LAST person who should be questioning someone else's character.

What good is a political movement is you don't have a clear cut heir apparent? Dan Hubbard, having no other life to speak of, has interpreted his very ceremonial position as neighborhood association president as a referendum to speak for everyone else.

He sincerely has no clue how much of a whiny loser he appears to be. He talks about sheep all the time. If his neighbors hadn't drunk the kool aid long ago, Dan would never see another term.

It honestly amazes me how he managed to get 67 votes for controller. I guess Hubbard family gets to vote more than once where Dan is poll watcher...

I would like to make this point ... Danny cried when he thought that we picked on his circumstances as a flood victim (we did not but he thought that we did) ... here he is slamming on a veteran ... I don't care if the guy didn't face death on a daily basis ... he can't control where he is sent and the job he is given to do ... he simply has to do it ... who is Danny (who did not have the guts to go) to question him ... or pick on him ... Danny you don't like being picked on then don't pick on others!

Here we have the post from the city-data forum where Dan says we pick on him:

Honestly I do not think that the sites are on the same level. Yours is without question far less abrasive and certainly alot less combative. MY tone as you like about your previous posts was on point. Everytime someone from your site comes here we have problems. We have to have posts removed and posters banned for their "everything and anything" posts here on some council members. You yourself have posted links to your site and have gotten on the anti-Joe band wagon here. The last time you and I had a discussion was on the dog park. I'm sorry but I have yet to see one serious discussion about anything on your site other then DD. This city is $650,000,000 in debt in less than 6 years and they just passed a record breaking $84,500,000 budget for a DISTRESSED CITY and that is no where to be found in any thread on PD. Do you guys even care or are you just part of the sytem that is killing the city. Are you on the receiving end of the admin? Because if it doesn't upset you then you either are benefiting from it or don't live in the city, which is it? I try very hard to leave PD and DD where they are because I do not feel that this is a forum for either site. We try to run the middle ground, sure it gets heated sometimes, but we still like to keep neutral of the sites. I post under my real name and have never had anything to hide. Sure Joe wanted a reaction and sure he used that word to get Judy to react when no other would but my point is this, its Judy's job to keep the meetings together and its her job to keep it to "city business" but she was the one that let it fly in front of a high school class and the coutless other kids that do watch the meetings like mine. She brought it out on air, on camera not Joe. She made it "city business" not Joe.

Honestly I have no respect for people that ridicule flood victims and what they have to go thru. You have no idea what its like to have to go thru it and what it takes to get back to normal. I don't find it funny that we have been forgotten and neglected while the city spends soo much money on nothing. Our homes on my block have never been flooded in over a 100 years but yet I'm accused of buying a house by a river and should have known better. Over 100 years my family has been here in this neighborhood. Thats along time and alot of my neighbors have had family here just as long. This neighborhood might not be the 1700 blk of N washington but it has history and it has a community feel to it because we all have been here for soo long. Generations have raised their kids here. Like I said I have no time for PD and its 6th grade name calling and guess who crap. I also have no time for the DD crap either. If you wanted to post here then please do so, but leave the PD cheerleading and anti-DD knocking home. Like I said my only complaint is when the BS from the 2 sites ends up here.


There were no post to support Danny's claim that he was ridiculed here ... but I also highlighted another little portion of his post which leads people to believe that he lived his life in Lower Greenridge .... well that is what I like to call a hello Pot moment ... By Dan's own addmission he has only been there for what was it Dan 6 years? .... HELLO POT! You did the same thing you are accusing Rational Thoughts of doing ... but hell maybe you just don't see it that way! This is simply my opinion!

I thought you didn't have time for PD or DD crap! Your words not mine!
