Thread: is mrmark harrassing anyone else?

That is hardly harassment in my book. I thought this forum was all about saying what you feel?

I don't see anything wrong with him not caring for her appearance. If you don't wanna hear what others have to say, don't post pics??

What was happening to DontStop qualifies as harassment 100 times more than this does...

i think to post 4 put downs in a 15 year old girl's gallery is the behavior of someone that is intent on being an asshole. he is deliberately being cruel to a young girl. and if he doesn't like her looks why does he keep going back? our galleries aren't places where it's ok to be an asshole anymore than the rest of the forum is. last i knew we were weeding out the assholes around here.

I don't think it's cool to go to a members gallery (or journal, for that matter) and dump on them. Anywhere else is fine, but not places where a person should feel free to express themselves.

LW, there is nothing wrong with what he said. Tes stands out and the fact that she is willing to post herself for all the world to see and comment on is her choice.

He wasn't rude or degrading IMO.

Out of curiosity, what if it was a 15 year old boy? Or anyone else for that matter?
Not flaming,just curious...

You may not know it, but Little Wing is Tesla's mother.

Why else would people post pics other than to have someone comment on them? This is a body building forum and the gallery section has a specific area for comments on those pics. I don't get it, am I missing something here?

Feedback is fine, but it should be constructive. At least in the Journals and the gallery.

Constructive feedback on some things is appropriate... Like suggesting they add a certain exercise because one body part is lagging behind or something like that. Even then it should be done only if the member is asking for an opinion...

Comments like "ewwwww" aren't exactly constructive. Especially when made from people of the opposite sex and directed towards minors.

That does emphasize his point though.

Fair enough. I still don't think it's harassment but I've been wrong before.

It's a matter of opinion. Personally, I don't think it would classify as harassment, but it's not particularly nice either.

That man treatened to stick his penis in my ear and blow my brains out!!

I tend to be defensive of my son too. It's instinct and it's a hard instinct to get a handle on while I'm in the moment. This has the look of you being in the moment right now ...

Mrmark is a but he doesn't yet deserve to be flogged. If he does though, you will have plenty of back-up

i'm not sure about anyone else but to me putting our pics up is to say hi, show progress, goals or areas we'd like to improve. who the hell would post pics if we knew we were making ourselves an open shit target? a lot of members won't put pics up at all and hmmm just maybe it's because they are afraid some ignoramus will make derogatory comments. people shouldn't have to risk being shit on here in order to share a part of who they are with the rest of us.

how does it improve or shine a good light on this forum at all for members to shit on each other in the galleries or anywhere else? repeatedly insulting a member is harassment. she didn't ask to be criticized, and she posted her pictures in trust. i say that trust was violated and i'm pretty sure it takes an asshole to pick on young girl and yes 15 year old boys are as capable of being one as anyone else. hence the banning of some of our younger members.

I think he has the hots for your daughter, and his only way to express it is to boost his own ego

Has she told him to stop?

she told him to get a life.

Wish you were my mom back in the third grade when that 16 year old kept beating me up .

I didn't catch that this was in her gallery HERE at IM. I thought this was some kind of myspace squabble. Galleries responses are just supposed to be various expressions of support from other members of the IM community, nothing else IMHO. I had to re-read this thread to finally catch that MRMARK was posting this here at IM and not out somewhere in cyberspace. Not cool to bug the youngsters around here. He should be flogged after all ...

ty had a cold then tess caught it n woke up with two ear infections yesterday. not long after she came in my room crying from pain she told me mrmark was leaving rotten comments in her gallery here. yea he deserves a denutting.

If there is nothing nice to say then dont say anything at all. I mean I posted some pictures of me and my girls and I have nothing but positive comments, but all the comments are from most of the guys and gals I always shoot the shit from on this board. But I did have some views with no comments, so maybe other people had something negative to say and simply kept it to themselves, which I appreciate it.

Agreed. But i'd say 'flogging' would be just a very slight overeaction.

It was'nt really that bad, and SYN will have heard FAR worse at school. And judging by her previous posts, I reckon she can give as good as she gets.

Still, it was unwarranted.

I guess its just not needed. Its nothing hurtful, but why even try to be a dick? Hell you obviously dont even know how to be a dick mark......(Kinda lame dont ya think?)

I'll say one thing for you Witch - always the voice of reason, perched right down the middle of the fence. Must be a Dutch thing.......

It's a good trait.

Lawl, I have had a lot of people trash talk my pictures, and my journal a few times. I don't give a shit. 19inchpump was just doing it 2 days ago. I still don't give a shit.

I know where you are coming from LW, but for your daughters sake, I hope she can take a lot of shit, because being different attracts a whole lot of shit. Being your own person and not lining up with the sheep takes guts. She has that, but she better grow a think skin, too.

1. hes trying to help her. most people dont want to go out with something like that and most people will atutomatcialy think she is a trouble maker.

2. how do you look at someones galllery?

Something like what?

God dammit, I cant see the comments.
