You wrote,[...What made me lol was the idea that that "pr*ck" was an improvement over "troll"...].
Psychologists write about those personalities that get laughter or humor from seeing one debased or ridiculed or libeled in a way that insults their character or could induce psychological emotional pain or suffering. You call it {putting down} which is a slang way of saying that someone does something that depreciates another human being. But , my friend, when you are laughing at him, you are laughing at me. For I am a human being also, in the same family as Scott. That family is the humanity family. And it has been revealed to me, that when you insult a family member, you insult all humanity.
It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside. It's not one that I can easily hide. It is a feeling of humanity being on trial here. For if you are allowed to laugh at your guests here for being called what could induce hostile and disagreeable feelings toward Scott, and lead others to think of him as someone to be laughed at, then could not you (redacted by respondent)?
Now you say you're sorry. But does that erase the harm? There are jurisdictions that say that what you have written here could be deemed as a disregard for the mental health of his guests in his web site even with that you wrote that you were sorry, and could see that what you have done as a malicious attempt to cause emotional distress to Scott. Scott could say now that he is OK, but down the road, if and when he reveals this to his psychiatrist, that psychiatrist may see that the harm could be implanted in his mind and the harm could be going on and on and on. And for a psychiatrist to do this to another human being could be considered by a subset of readers as a crime against humanity itself. You say that calling Scott a "pr*ck" is an improvement over calling Scott a "troll". If one libel is not as great as another libel, does that make the one libel go away? And if so, does that not reinforce the libel that is replaced, even more libelous?
There could be a subset of readers that consider what you posted here about Scott is inconsistent with the purpose of your web site and consider that you are intentionally developing hatred toward human beings in many ways. Ways that if readers look at what I have been writing about here, those ways could be revealed to those that are ignorant of how people can be steered into a particular mind-set of hate. And I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who; who wrote the book of hate. Do you readers not know that the prohibitions posted to me here by Mr. Hsiung prevent me from posting here the relationship between psychiatry and mass-murder? Do you not know that the prohibitions posted to me here by Mr. Hsiung prevent me from posting my repudiation to the statements here under discussion that are anti-Semitic? And how many people can stay here when they know what can be seen here that is plainly visible? Could not the people that can see what is just in this post written about Scott want to leave and just a few people that (redacted by respondent) stay here?
I am here to purge out the old hatred. For if the hatred toward humanity itself is allowed to abound, then could not what history has shown you come back?
Never again.
Lou
