A quick word on "Overwhelmingly Negative Influences"

[Joods]

Taken directly from the Stated purpose of AF: 

In the interests of communication, we ask that members do not diverge from definitions of words that are found in established dictionaries, unless a thread's specific purpose is to discuss various alternative definitions.

Okay. So how many times in that one thread alone, has the offender specifically twisted the definitions of words or a phrase that expressly does opposite of what is posted above? Let's see... he's intentionally twisted the following words and phrases:
Rape
Forced
Forced sex
Consent
Consensual
Statute of Limitations.

There are probably more. But how many pages in that one thread alone, were wasted because the offender twisted actual definitions, left out second meanings, etc, to suit his own agenda? No one can deny that this has happened and there is nothing in the thread title or the OP of that thread, that even specifically states the purpose of that thread is to discuss various alternative definitions of any word. But, continue to allow him to deviate from parts of the stated purpose of AF, because that's not an actual rule.


In the case of our offender, I don't think this has anything to do with his freedom of speech. Rather, allowing him to continue misrepresenting "words that are found in established dictionaries", wasting pages and pages on it in a thread, causing it to be a hot topic, regardless of the amount of upset it causes active members, it simply promotes and increases AF being noticed on a search engine. Especially given the topic of conversation. In reality, how many times do you think the words "rape" "consent" "forced sex" and "statute of limitations" are looked up on google, yahoo and bing on a daily basis? Given the sheer number of "guests" that we have "visiting" here during busy times, I imagine it has to be a lot. But, by all means, keep allowing him to get away with it because it generates traffic for the website and I'm sure that makes the advertisers here really happy. At the end of the day, this site is a business, like any other. Money has to be made. Money has to be paid out for expenses (as minimal as they are: No staff to pay, no inventory to buy, no liability insurance, no rent on a brick and mortar building, etc) so the money has to come from somewhere, right? Advertisers bring that money in. So regardless of a topic, or the rules or anything else, it all comes down to money. Screw the integrity of the members here who actually have morals and values. Rather, keep the undesirables around because they bring drama and controversy and that causes hot topics and that causes the numbers to rise in the search engines and that causes the money to flow.

And speaking of money... twice now, low blows have been made in reference to the pulling of donations from here. The fact that your wife  never said one word about donations until I said I was pulling my financial support out of this place gives me every reason to know those comments were directed at me. Once here and once in the CIJS thread. I am not required to keep up my support of a place that chooses to put its own integrity on the line to save one ignorant, spiteful, rude member over trying to keep those with morals, compassion and empathy. I fully have the right to say why I am no longer giving money to AF. Free speech, remember? I stand by my reasons for doing so when I mentioned it last week. Continuing to bring that up and trying to make it something that it isn't, doesn't do anything but make her sound petty.

@ShellB: I have done nothing to you, personally, but the ignorance of last week's comments from you, still bleeds into today. I did not respond to a single comment you made, from the picture of the box of tampons to you trying to trivialize someone's hurt, I stayed out of it, even when I knew some of those things were directed at me. All you did was promote and incite more drama.  And speaking of that tampon picture: Pot meet kettle.
