Full Contact Info - (btdt FAQ files)

Still waiting for you to man up and post your workplace information publically, but you won't, which proves all your talk about hypocrisy is rank projection, skankhole.

Been there, done that. [Link to this post.] You're welcome to believe that my unwillingness to post all manner of information about myself is somehow hypocritical, but that doesn't make it so... (In fact, some might say your demanding it of the folks here, but not of any other bloggers with which you regularly converse, is what's hypocritical. Seems you have one set of standards for bloggers you approve of, and another for those you don't, which is more or less the definition of hypocrisy.)

((That's the thing about alleging hypocrisy, Dr. Douglas... The charge means something. You can't just SAY it; you have to SHOW it.))

You obviously do, which is why you keep telling everyone to hire a private investigator to find out all about you on the web.

Sorry, Dr Douglas... But I never said that, ever... You're making things up, again...

In fact, I have no more or less to hide than anyone else on the internet who values his/her privacy, which seems to be less than some, and more'n others...

A quick romp through any reasonably travelled blog comment section will show folks who post their real names and addresses, others whose real name is out there, but prefers a screen name, and still others who use nothing but a screen name, or simply "anonymous." Folks are welcome to have opinions and draw conclusions about any of those folks for making the online privacy decisions they do, but the key is that it's their decision to make. You and I have made ours, and Donald, that's that.

Put all of your contact info in the sidebar. (Are you even employed)

Sorry, Don, but I'm stickin' with my decision about this. If you want to persuade me, show me that you're making the same demand of the rest of your internet contacts... You know... One set of standards, for friend and foe, alike. If you show me that you actually do have the courage of your convictions on this one issue at least, I'll reconsider my privacy settings. But this situational wishy-washy bullshit is just unbecoming and unmanly, and I urge you to let it go, for the sake of your reputation...
...
And of course aside all that, my info is non of your freakin' business. You want to sue me? Sue me. You want to deal with me here on the internet, blog to blog? Man up and do that. You prefer to just keep pissin' and moanin'? Well, you are gettin' good at it...

I don't think it's cowardly to attack people, at least, if you're willing to stand up to what you say, full stop, full I.D. Notice how I didn't mention SEK. It's cowardly to attack people --- and libel and threaten them --- anonymously. And that'd be you and your merry horde of demon sheep.

You know it's a double-standard, I know it's a double standard, and everyone who reads that will know it's a double standard. That said, deny it to your heart's content. Besides, you and I both know I'm not anonymous, and never claimed to be--you even said so, yourself--

"Repsac3: First, you're not an anonymous blogger. You can't be outed. You posted your Twitter link at your own blog. I had long ago known your real name but never used it."

--so this whole line is some kinda silly game you're playing, and apparently thinkin' you're winning, besides. Keep on keepin' on, Don...

Still waiting for your personal I.D. and work contact information to go live.

I understand your demand... I just think it's stupid. That said, I've given you my terms on that, as well... One set of standards for friend and foe... And you weasel, as follows:

We're not talking about commenters in the comments sections. We're talking about front-page attack masters.

We're talking about having one set of standards for everyone, Donald. If I "need" to release this info, then so does every other blogger with whom you interact. THAT's what one set of standards means... Having everyone held to the same set of laws, demands, statutes, standards... All measured with the same yardstick and weighed on the same scale... Not rules for the folks you like, and different rules for the ones you don't... THAT's situational ethics. That's moral weaseling... And that's what you're demanding.

Still waiting for your personal I.D. and work contact information to go live. We're not talking about commenters in the comments sections. We're talking about front-page attack masters. You've got no balls, honestly. So I won't hold my breath, freak.

Ex-DLB: "Don, I'm pretty sure you know all of our names. With very little effort you could find our home addresses and phone numbers. None of us are attacking you at your workplace or threatening your job (or your family BTW). That's a red herring. All we're doing is having fun with the dumb shit you put on your blog."

SATURDAY, JULY 24, 2010, 3:55 PM - (In reply to the "American Power: Update on Blogging Anonymity and Blogging Ethics" post just below) What'd I Say?: Anonymous/Pseudononymous Blogging and Commenting: Cowardly?

It's a little incongruous for you to say "For one thing, I no longer think anonymous blogging is automatically cowardly." and "No, it's more that I'm not going to be critical of those who do continue to blog anonymously." in the same post where you say "And I've repeatedly challenged the authors to put or up shut up by posting their full personal identification and contact information, but they have not done so. And that's cowardly." especially when at least some of the info you seek (all of our names, I believe) is available, and not especially hard to find, online.

Either it's cowardly or it isn't. Either you're demanding names and whatnot or you aren't. Make up your mind--being consistent across the board, for friend and foe alike--and get back to us.

As I've said before, when you require as a condition of participation that the folks at your blog and at the blogs where you comment release their personal/contact info--and you release your info, of course--I will match you, datapoint for datapoint. This is at least the second time I'm making the offer, so it'd be kinda silly to keep repeating the demand, and pretending you haven't seen the counter-offer. As you said, put up or shut up.

Saturday, July 24, 2010, 7:38 AM - American Power: Update on Blogging Anonymity and Blogging Ethics:

"American Nihilist, for example, exists for the sole purpose of attacking me personally with the most demented bile imaginable, and that blog has gotten more perverted over time, eventually devolving into a Satanic hate outlet for workplace intimidation and non-stop vicious personal diatribes. It's a hate blog. It exists for no other purpose but to spew invective and evil. And I've repeatedly challenged the authors to put or up shut up by posting their full personal identification and contact information, but they have not done so. And that's cowardly.

And thinking about it, people like that --- Repsac3 and his hate-merchants of death, and all the others of similarly-warped criminal minds online --- are the types that Kyra Phillips is referring to in her attacks on bloggers in this CNN clip:"

You expect the blggers here at American Nihilist to voluntarily post all manner of personal information about ourselves and suggest that we lack honor if we fail to do as you demand, and yet justify and rationalize commenters who are unwilling to even post anonymously--ANONYMOUSLY--and instead send their comments (which all seem to be about us, oddly enough) to you via e-mail, so that you can post them and protect their identities (and of course, these frightened commenters--assuming they exist, that is--lose no honor at all by doing so.)

You might get a little of that when you come out and publish your full contact info at the blog ...

I'll tell you what... When you start requiring everyone who wishes to comment on your blog to release their full contact info (perhaps as a .sig file) as a condition of having their comment appear, (including your anonymous e-mailers, of course) I'll revisit your silly demand.

In the meantime, my e-mail address has been available on my blogger profile for years, and my name and various other info is pretty easy to find, as well.

If you're so proud of your writings and those who you sponsor here ("fat dumpster diving perverts"), then by all means stand by what you've written and what your allies have written.

Right here, Donald, standing behind every word I write. (In keeping with what I said earlier--and numerous times, before--the other authors here can stand behind their own words, thankyouverymuch...)

Put your name to it (and Un-exDLB's), which means put your HONOR to it.

Dude, you know very well what my name is. You've even posted it on your blog a few times. I don't know what you think you're proving, but there's precious little substance to any suggestion that bloggers who don't use their real names regularly online are in any way less honorable than those who do. Go back and find the post where we discussed this very thing with PrivatePigg, and you conceded that pseudononymous bloggers have every right to limit their "real life" exposure...

I ask that you put your money where your mouth is so you can actually stand for something besides hatred. If you're so proud about your libel blogging, let's see the contact information.
So, post your stuff, James. Let's see you hang loose, you're all for truth right, or not.

Donald, we've been over this many, many times... I think you're foolhardy to post as much info about yourself and your job/family/surroundings as you do. I don't choose to be quite so foolhardy. Obviously, there is info about me online as well, and if I was stupid enough to allow it to get out there, you're welcome to use it. (Not that I won't call you on it if you do--much the same way you called Octo out, for posting information about you he found online--but in your case and mine, it's our own damned fault for letting it out there in the first place, and crying over spilled milk is kind of a waste of time, especially if we fail to clean it up.

So no... I don't have any intention of exposing more about myself or my life than I believe is appropriate, and friend and foe can judge me on those and all of my decisions as they wish.
