Apology?

[Oceanbreeze]

No, it has nothing do with "standing up for him" or "defend for him" but admit our mistake for judge his posts in harsh way, that´s all.

It makes me feel bad because he is only one who get ban, not us because we made the same posts as him as well.

We should leave his thread alone instead of made continue posts toward him after got negative posts from him because he don´t like our advice/feedback, that´s how we made continue posts each other in harsh way which is not right ....

:roll:

 

[IslandGal]

Yes I know, but I feel bad because he is only one who get ban or warning, not us. We made harsh/judgement posts to get him ban because we know what he is.

Well, I don't feel bad at all because he deserved to be banned. I don't feel bad for what I said to him because he deserved to be taught how to stop with his negative posts he made about people with different races and sexual orientations. In case you didn't know, there were some other members who got a warning or banned for what they said to Heath so he is not the only one who got warnings or bans.

We all should stop talking about Heath because it is really annoying to see his name popping up in here. It is getting peaceful in here without him

Peace Out.

Likewise. We shouldn't be expected to just sit back and take his crap.

Totally agree. No regrets and I would do it again given the same situation. If you allow something like this to continue, then you are just as bad as the person causing the problems. It's like just sitting back and watching an old lady get mugged and doing nothing about it.

Raingirl, I have no problems with you or your opinion on the subject. I don't agree that it's such a horrid thing because you have to look at the horrid things that he has said to others. I completely respect your feelings and opinions on this and I hope that you won't be so hard on yourself over it. I am sorry to you for causing you to feel so bad by posting in my thread.

Exactly—a troll is defined by the community in which he is interacting. Spouting Neo-Nazi rhetoric is perfectly acceptable behavior on a White Supremacist message board, and is actively encouraged. Making the exact same post on a message board devoted to Jewish issues constitutes inflammatory trolling. Using that reasoning, referring to homosexuals as dogs on a message board which has such a sizeable gay population that it has a separate sub-forum devoted entirely to gay issues also constitutes inflammatory trolling. Likewise, almost every deaf woman I have ever known has been victimized at some time by a predatory, psychologically inferior male. Therefore, making chauvinistic and/or disparaging remarks about women on a deaf message board clearly constitutes a deliberate attempt to inflict psychological distress. If Heath were to espouse these viewpoints in any workplace in the United States, he would be terminated immediately out of fear of litigation. So why is this behavior tolerated here? All of these mentally unbalanced people who have been victimizing this message board for the past year or two share one thing in common: they have all been ridiculed and/or banned from other message boards because of their atrocious English skills and their attention-seeking behavior. So they turn to AllDeaf in the belief that they will be accepted solely because they are deaf. But the reality of the matter is that they are victimizing innocent people. When Heath was making a pathetic attempt to justify the Holocaust a few months ago, one of our more respected members PM’ed me in the middle of the conversation and told me that she was feeling physically ill and had to go outside and get some air. No sanctions were placed against him for this behavior. Alex just PM’ed him and told him to knock it off. The point is that this message board is unique, and shouldn’t serve as a dumping ground for the Internet’s rejects. Freedom of speech does not justify deliberately inflicting psychological distress for the sake of stroking a narcissistic ego.

You get it!

Well, if he makes his thread that may offend others who are mixed race, interracial, Jews and so forth -- One of the mods can remove his thread and PM him to let him know that it is not acceptable. That's Moderators' responsibility to keep this AD in clean environment since Alex want the Moderators to do this job for Alex by keepin' an eye on it. I am aware of that Alex can't do it alone.

It's why we have SEVERAL Moderators to rotate to take care of this AD.

You are exactly right and that is why Heath is banned right now... because the mods are doing their job. I applaud them for doing the right thing.

No, it is his 5th strike. Last time, he was banned for a week and that was his 4th.

First offense - Warning
Second offense - 24 hours ban
Third offense - 48 hours ban
Fourth offense - 1 week ban
Fifth offense - 1 month ban
Sixth offense - Permanent ban

 

[Phillips]

Really Wow.. One more go to end! lol

Heath keeps on posting negative stuff anyway even after several of his threads got locked up. He deserved a ban so why are you all babbling about? I guess you all are feeling sorry for him.

Babblin' about ? And feelin' sorry for him ? Ha ! That's funny way you put this way about me. Well, now I am bein' serious -- FYI, I don't feel sorry at all. I don't think some of you guys have the right to jump in the bandwagon to walk all over his head and fingers. Why respondin' to his posts in threads before his threads got locked up ? Hmm ? Use your common sense and find elsewhere to post.

From what I am seein' in this AD - I can SEE some of you guys LIKE to see HIM gettin' ban by walkin' all over his head and fingers - just like some of you guys did BEFORE he was banned. I think some of you guys who are jumped in bandwagon should be banned for provokin' him, just because of his different beliefs than you guys -- doesn't mean that you guys have the right to do that to him.

First offense - Warning
Second offense - 24 hours ban
Third offense - 48 hours ban
Fourth offense - 1 week ban
Fifth offense - 1 month ban
Sixth offense - Permanent ban

those rules have been bent before

 

[C.C.Sinned]

I dont think we need to hear heath's apology since he done it many times so if he's banned for good, then he deserves it.

Weren't you given a second chance?

 

[C.C.Sinned]

that's wrong, he is to old to have his actions blamed on
his parents. also it's very difficult to ignore Heaths posts
when he shares his ignorant views in 75% 0f the threads

We all have our opinions

each one of us within this community can be much grateful for despite the indifference of ideals, opinions, etc.,...that's what can make all of us unique as a community...and with one another also.

 

[rockdrummer]

Weren't you given a second chance?

Second chance????? He is on strike 5. That's 3 more chances above and beyond second chance....

I did not jump on him but what he said about mixed race babies angered me and I had to say something to him. I am sure you know why I had to say something to him. Like bbnt said, Heath's threads and posts were taking up 75% of AD and it is hard to avoid him. Geez :roll:

Smart post from a monkey

So now you're telling me to leave?

I know CutePommie but I was responding to CCSinned. I didn't realize about SteelX and his banned situation.

Permanent ban don't mean anything since I see a long lost banned member return here recently!!

A true person can admit their mistakes, because like all of us, they are human, and we all make mistakes. To come forward and to apologize, is a very noble thing to do. We all need to learn from our mistakes. Put ourselves in the person's place that is being harrassed, and with all that is good in each and everyone of us, let us realize when we do make an apology, how much better this person will feel, and to make this world a better place to live.
