I had an experience on a forum where a guy threatened my daughter with physical violence. We had been friendly up to that point. Not one person came to my defense on the forum. Some people said, "Oh come on, Lotus. You know he's harmless." First of all, I had no way of knowing that for sure, and it was my DAUGHTER he was talking about. Second, I think anyone who would even think to post such hideousness is mentally ill, which means you need to be careful around that person whether they are joking or not.
I contacted the FBI. Yes, I did. People should not joke about stalking and violence, because there ARE sick people in the world who do such things. Stop being assholes, please. Just fucking stop it. Try to think of something funny that doesn't involve violence. I know it takes a bigger brain to do so, but challenge yourselves.
If I ever see that nasty prick on any forum, I will leave immediately. There is no reason to keep company with the mentally ill. That does not make me a pussy. That makes me sane.
