Let me explain it again for the ones who don't bother reading posts or just want to pick on someone because they have nothing else better to do in their life.
1. I clearly stated that the words FHRITP were vulgar, rude and offensive. The pranksters were juvenile and morons. What part of that did you miss or did you just want to take a swing at me in the dark? If you missed it, go back and spend your time reading through this thread rather than just attacking.
2. The main issue is are these words and actions in and of itself a verbal prank or was it more, like a sexual assault against Shauna Hunt/could it have lead to more/is there reason to worry about this beyond a punk repeating a line from the Internet, i.e. was it the action that we saw caught on video or should we be concerned with what "might have been".
Ummm i knew what you meant and said.
"This is the totalitarian, Big Brother, Nazi approach."
Is it? Or is it people disagreeing? I see you making a big deal of people disagreeing when you yourself are upset about people taking something too far.
And yeah a prank isn't defined by the person that does it. Not really. If my definition of a prank were to cut the breaks on someone's car (in this scenario i'm a psycho) then i don't think the family of the deceased would be laughing after i get tossed in the clink. Sure, thats an extreme example but hopefully you understand me.
And to be perfectly honest. Yeah it could have escalated. I've seen a lot and i mean a lot of stuff online when it comes to women being critical of men. The reaction from men online in that scenario usually equates to death threats. Then excuses for those death threats. Then men boycotting and generally trying to damage the lives of anyone that even remotely agree's with said women. So no, men like that no longer get that benefit of the doubt from me.
It isn't all men of course but enough to worry about. So long story short, yes it could have escalated to rape. All that would have been needed was that one guy with more than a few screws loose and the reporter to have acted in a way he didn't like.
And thats my opinion. Also, no i am not a nazi.
