Holiday Nightmares Become Boring Commonplaces

Hi friends,

I have done many sorts of volunteer work over the years and I have come up with a simple rule for myself. If I am not willing to WORK for a cause actively I don't just throw money at it. 

That being said, many lives are improved by the work of charities, despite the fact that many charities are 75% overhead and much money donated to overseas causes goes to the hands of politicians, dictators and warlords. Charity is a good impulse. 

Here is where I get annoyed. Just like action movies deaden our response to violence, commercials showing dying babies and sick pets disgust me with the CHARITY, not with the situation. 

Jesus said the poor will always be with us, but that is not a reason not to help. But any charity that is going to throw dead babies into my livingroom will NEVER get money out of me until they change their ways. 

Graphic, gory and manipulative commercials make me a little more cynical every day. Rather than crying over suffering children I am approaching the point of making jokes in a mock narrator's voice. I don't like feeling this way AND I BLAME THE PRODUCERS of such garbage.

Why don't they run a commercial saying "We know you are humane enough to send money without having to be brutalized by a shocking (well unfortunately no longer shocking) graphic commercial during your holiday season."

That (if the dog and cat people joined in too) I would pay for. But I will not send 50 cents a day for being abused and diminished as a human being.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Yahoo,

Many of us in the poetry section have become targets and are receiving
multiple violations everyday - some from Q's or A's that are years old.

Many of us don't even bother posting questions out of fear of having
our accounts suspended

To say it is disheartening is a vast understatement. If you can't get
a handle on it or change the rules somehow, you are going to lose us.
Your advertisers will notice such things and spend their budgets with
sites that are more user-friendly.

That you give one person the power to do this with one click is
something I do not understand. You trust them forever because their
'history' was always accurate? That is known site-wide - and some of
them did exactly that so they could then have the power to go after
the rest of us.

Well, it was fun while it lasted.
TG - Uh Huh

These are quotes from you Guidelines:

If a question or answer is reported by one or more reliable users,
it will be removed.

I have one account only - I know of people who have had over 100 accounts.

We try blocking the ones we know are doing this, but it's completely
ineffective; they merely create new accounts and attack us with those
ones.

Oh, and thank you for the form letter reply.

Dear TG,

It appeared you assumed that somehow people were given power to remove
content with one click, so we assumed you hadn't seen the way CM
actually worked.

Yahoo,

No, I didn't assume that at all. I just know that one person who
managed to garner himself more than one blue ribbon for reporting
genuine violations has done just that with two or more of his multiple
accounts. It is with those accounts, one person is able to report the
same question or answer two or more times. Did you not read the very guidelines you referred me to?

Thanks,

TG

Letter to John Boehner

My sister sent a letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

 It said:

Dear Mr. Speaker, John Boehner,   If I don't get a social security check I won't eat this month if I can't eat no one in the House of Representatives should be entitled to a pay check. I worked hard all my life and paid into SS and you people think you have the right to play games with me, and all the seniors who paid into SS all their lives?   An Irate Retiree

Hello Happy Hiram,

The answer on Yahoo! Answers was reported and deleted by one or more trusted members of the Answers community:

The Question: Who are good poets on Yahoo Answers?


My reported answer: "Dave, Nancy, Love Child (aka Firecat), Questor, Crimson Ark and Frederic (when his female fans stop encouraging him to write cliche-ridden gushing messes.)  there were many greats who have moved on: BG, SIN, MTheory, Giggles, FShirley, Mek, Oakwolf, and more; occasionally some of them pop in again for a bit. I am missing at least three excellent poets because my mind is not as supple as it was when I was younger. Dallas! How could I forget to mention her (aka 5ft7 Texas Heaven.)"

PS: Notice the answerwas mistake, this obviously computer generated mess made, and the words on the Appeal link are my addition (just saying how these "non-appeals" feel.)

I was just telling a friend the other day how Peter catalogs old Q's to smash us with when he decides to move against one of us. Please don't say "Peter Benwa" in your posts, because he might be cataloging your work too.

Free To Satire? Not in Yahoo!

In Yahoo critical speech is not allowed, but in America, satire is protected speech. Does it bother you that Yahoo (as in Red China) speech must never criticize the answers to a given question?

Here was the offensive answer (which got reported, and removed:)

"A poem well within a question and contextual to it within, is without guidelines of questions qua questions and / or answer qua answers, if either pertain to the question of the first part, as a question with a category pertained to poetry of the second part -- I'm getting a headache. Give it to Lord Bafflegab."

Here is the question:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Avcq6oXPQ2naCzFLkZcOLhDty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20120513160254AA9KKVa

Also this relates to anti-bullying policy as an attack on free speech. Would the famous Hustler Magazine satire of Jerry Fallwell be considered bullying in the modern environment?

See my anti-bullying essay:

http://hiramunleashed.blogspot.com/2012/04/is-anti-bullying-another-form-of.html

See past use of anti-bullying techniques (as bullying techniques) in YAP:

[I have disavowed any attempts to besmirch Scooter with this page as he/she was apparently unaware of the effect of their words and removed them when made aware.] 

Anyhow, the abuse goes merrily forward. Sanctioned by Red China -er I mean Yahoo!

A Cyber-Bully's Confession???

[I have disavowed any attempts to characterize Scooter the Squirrel as part of this continuing problem.He/She was apparently unaware of the effect of their words and removed them when made aware. Reference to Scooter below is merely attributing the SOURCE of the remarks.]

A Cyber-Bully's Confession???

After declaring that she or he had nothing to do with my removal from Yahoo, Scooter the Squirrel gave a lesson in tactics how to find some web site or group that can describe any behavior you like as harassment so you can cyber-attack and cyber-bully by using anti-bullying systems against anyone you like.

Below is a statement from SCOOTER THE SQUIRREL, and it is advice on how to use anti-harassment systems to have people ejected from Yahoo Answers despite their years of earnest contribution, aka how to abuse in the name of preventing abuse. (Parentheses below are this editor's comments)

Scooter says:

Report this to the following email-> y_answrs_team@yahoo.com

You can report them to the Authorities. Here is the site that helps with Computer harassment/stalking->

http://www.karisable.com/crpcstalk.htm

I'm know I'm not a regular in this section but i will do whatever it takes to help. I'm in. (This is expressing a vendetta which is abuser behavior.)

These are additional links involving on how to take action against online harassment/stalking->

http://www.uni.illinois.edu//~dstone/har…

http://www.vaonline.org/cyberstalking.ht…

http://www.rainn.org/cyberstalking (This one doesn't exist? But it is always good to list three links as it feels more thorough!)

Know what's going on everyone. No one has to feel helpless. (unless someone is using these "protective" systems to abuse YOU and pretending to be innocent!) Something can be done against cowards who feel they can hide behind a computer & stalk/harass people for no reason. (But nothing can be done about liars who use abuse protection to attack random people!) I will also be posting these links on my profile for anyone that needs them.

(Read the original question that prompted Scooter to confess to cyber-attacking me so as to remove me from Yahoo:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjBepdA3KoBrIBPI5gKezJ7ty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20120125141719AABF6Vx

Now stop saying you didn't get me removed Scoot, and get your friends (Lapiz) to stop lying and saying I wasn't suspended!)
