Bigot: What's in a name?

A few of you, who have been privvy to my sharing a few emails from a particular poster will know about this 'peer' already.

One person has taken it upon himself to flatter me with several peer emails each day, pretty much stating the same old garbage over and over again, I decided to find out if he actually had a point behind his obsessive ramblings (seems he spend a great deal of time thinking of me) or if he was just full of it, as I have thought all along.

Now in his defense, I do think he has some personal 'issues' that need profesisonal help, he usually displays the social prowess of a shut-in, with no life outside of the Internet.

One of the comments that this 'peer' parrots, as if he's onto something is 'BIGOT'. He REALLY likes that word, maybe because he can spell it, perhaps it is because it has 2 syllables and expands his vocabulary, I am not too sure but he sure likes it a lot! So much so that he has often said to me, and others, that Bigots are his biggest issue, he "Hates Bigots"

Along with BIGOT, I find that he also has a somewhat colourful volcabulary, which I do too when not posting publicly, and I can accept foul mouth with no problem, I can usually one-up without a problem in that department anyway. Then I began to hear threats, REALLY REALLY stupid ones,

So, what Is a bigot?

[b][u]Bigot[/b][/u]: A bigot is a person who is intolerant of opinions, lifestyles, or identities differing from his or her own

Some comments to OTHERS (not me) from this person who HATES bigots.

"Your a typical flaming fking liberal. You offer no facts to justify your position. And you ignore the facts when they prove your position wrong.

Typical liberal. Too lazy to provide any facts on any position they hold."

So by now, I am sure those who haven't seen his peeer mails will probably know who I am referring to, no need for me to mention names.

Here's a funny one, especially considering his rather bigoted posts towards others:
[i]"Bigots come in all colors, religions, and from every nation"[/i] No kidding?
[i]"I can not deal with bigots"[/i]

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Now this one is a real rib tickler, the guy copies the same comment into each email, not realizing how ludicrous and ridiculous such a comment is.

So as not to repeat his words on a public forum it simply refers to urinating and defacating on my grave. When I told him to look me up and take care of it himself, he then said how he didn't need to because someoen else is bound to do it one day. Uh, yeah, but I thought you.....well whatever. :D

What really baffles me is just how much time and anger this poor little twink is putting into all of this, when I couldn't give a crap what he thinks of me.

I only posted this because it he is such a closet case, using a couple of different aliases he has posted exactly what he chastizes me for, to other peers. And yet he actually does seem to have some computing knowlege and has helped a couple of people out. Kinda like the old Jeckyl and Hyde trip

Has anyone else heard from this guy? I see he has done it over and over again in forums but why is he so infatuated with emailing me, I wonder?

He hasn't seen how cute I am , he hasn't been party to my wit and charm, he hasn't even seen me in tight pants! But he seems so infatuated with me it is becoming like a stalker case, I guess I'll have to make sure the bedroom drapes are shut tight, sure wouldn't want any Peeping Tom's to drop by unannounced.

In the end, I am merely amused that such a person could start running off at the mouth and calling me and others a bigot when he has done nothing but express his own bigotry over and over again towards others.

He either thinks I am too stupid to do my homework or is just too stupid to realize his tracks are everywhere.

But as I know he'll be eager to post here and show his true colours, also giving himself away, I'd like to add a new word to his vocabulary;

[u][b]HYPOCRITE[/b][/u]: a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings

Yup, hit the nail on the head with that one..

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Anyone else ever had a stream of peer mails from a 'person' who thinks he's actually being clever?

Do you bother blocking peer mail? It's only an account I check once in a while, it's not my main email or anything, would you bother cutting off others from contacting you just because some dork fills your mailbox with junk each day? I can't be bothered in fact I icheck them in hopes that he may offer something cuttting, witty o r even somewhqt true.

This dude is ripe!

Where do they FIND these people? Who's been flipping over rocks?

Anyhow, not to bitch just wondering if y'all has heard from this loser too.

Have a great weekend!

If he hates Bigots - then he is a Bigot himself. Or is that just plain irony? LOL. Well anyway I know there's a word for it, and all you intelligent regulars will know what it is. :D Time to go home for me! have a good weekend!

by ontheropes

To get any significant amount of email over comments you post to this site is very surprising to me. What? You're supposed to get beaten down with the constant harangue?

Ridiculous!

I think someone, yes I know who it is, could benefit from some anger management classes at the very least or, even better, professional help.

You're a freak magnet. I don't like a lot of what you post but one of the last things I'd think of doing would be to try to inject myself into your personal life in a negative way. I even hesitate to send emails that are tame as I don't want to bother anyone.

Someone's lost it. Too bad. Hope they get it back for their own sake. You're hardly the antithesis of everything good. There are plenty of other dogs to kick, so to speak.

Now I'll probably get email telling me to butt out because I don't know what I'm talking about. All I can say is air it all out in public or don't bother.

by oz_media

I am not saint and I would never claim to be one.

I have actually respond to these emails, perhaps antagnizing some more; by firtstly throwing back the same, then throwing back a "thank you for your kind words" and now just that I am shocked he doesn't have anythign better to do.

I agree, I hate to send people peer mail for several reasons,
1) the person may have just been polite online and really doesn't want to hear from me

2) Anything I can't say online, I usually won't bothersaying at all

3)PM's for following up on threads is pretty stupid. What, are you going to win an debate off line?

and a few others ,such as you said "not wanting to bother people" which is usually my main reason for not peer mailing people here.

They can reach me or talk to me online, I welcome and enjoy most peer emails, but I am sure they get their fill of it without peer mail too.

by oz_media

I really do have better things to do.

It's not like I check my peer mail hoping he's sent more, it's just when I go to clear out that box that I run into them all.

by the scummy one

after the first few sentences. I only browsed the rest of your post though.

Actually, I have peered and been peered by this member, but it never went on in any bad way!

I think he can use some chill pills sometimes, but often he has valid points to bring up! Along with some good discussion materials.

However, personally, I would call you an a$$hole instead of a bigot (it seems to fit much better)(meant in a good way of course).

by oz_media

I AM an a$$hole, I admit it and feel it suits me well; I am not out to simply appease the world. But I'm a nice guy...for an a$$hole. ;)

by netman1958

Are the peer emails as salacious as the examples you linked to? If so, I'd get a kick out of reading some of them. I wouldn't block him, I'd just save the emails for a boring day.

by oz_media

I'll pass a couple on for you. You'll get a kick out of the stupidity, it really is grade school stuff though.

Ok, since you asked for it. Here, I got a task for you that I have been putting off for some time now.
I want to write a book that tells me step by step how to lean, use, and become a master of Linux.
Requirements -- It should not have small font, it should use pictures, and, it should keep the average Americans attention span (10 minutes or less).

After you write it for me, just peer it over my way and I'll get rich by reproducing it as my works.
Thanks JMG -- You Da Man!

I think this idiot has ben shut in the basement for too long, his only hope of entertainment is online. so when he gets his nose out of joint, online, it takes up his time and he loses his ability to function until he's sent his peer mail in hopes that it has a scary effect on the recipient.

The only thing scary about it though is the mental nature of the sender, he's simply not sane.

by jaqui

when the subject just isn't appropriate for a public venue. [ such as discussing a personal project that needs to be kept off public boards for a legal reason, yet input is needed on it.]

or to send a heads up for a particular discussion.

but to do what's been happening with Oz? nope, if I want to take someone to task for their public comments, I'll do it in public.
more likely I'll just not bother reading any further posts of theirs.

by charliespencer

but I'd never let them know...

Have you considered forwarding the peer mails to the PTBs? I'm working on the assumption you'd like something done about them. Obviously you're free to tolerate them for the minimal entertainment value they provide. I know you're not replying directly to them.

As to being labeled a bigot (or anything else), it all depends on how much you value the opinions of people you only interact with over the 'net. It also depends on how much others who interact with you value that person's opinion. I'm guess that in both cases the value is minimal.

by oz_media

It's not TR's issue, its not even really an "issue". Been here, dealt with it before ('tis what happens when you have an objective opinion to others)don't really care.

Opinions on the net, I think you know exactly how I take them, with at least a chuckle. There's no public character defamation so it's not a legal issue, just a whiny little bugger without a life to speak of.

by the scummy one

someone like that (yes, I did it to someone before) -- I created an outlook rule to auto reply with the message that the email was never seen because it was blocked and auto deleted.
then the rule sent it to deleted items, and I have Outlook setup to delete when closing.

The person ranted off to another friend about it for 3 weeks, and was really pissed off (it wasnt an Internet acquaintance though, we knew each other).

I laughed my a$$ off when I found out :^0

Apparently knowing that their message didnt get through really bugged

by charliespencer

If someone wants to address something I said in public to him, he can do it in public. I trash most peer mails I receive since they're from members I never heard of.

by Tammy.Cavadias

..emails... hires folks to watch me years after we divorced... calls my friends... etc...

That is actually scary Oz (especially in this day and age) and is harassment..

Let me know if there is anything you'd like me to do, I'm sure we have a few measures here we can take.

Thanks for your interest but this one's all hot air; smelly hot air but hot air all the same. ;)

by older mycroft

For one truly simple and onerous fact:

The act of verbally threatening someone is pointless, it contains no validity within itself, it invariably constitutes an undetermined outcome, borne of a hitherto unspecified vagueness, with utterly no conformity to method or timetable.

If anyone felt sufficiently incensed or enraged, that the only possible way to vent their feelings would be to resort to physical manifestation of malevolent actions through violence, then THEY SHOULD JUST DO IT.

It has been my great pleasure on a few occasions to witness the self-destruction of those that threaten because invariably they are incompetent in the carrying out of their threats. They cannot 'step up to the plate'.

Ultimately they implode when it finally dawns on them that the person they are hoping to worry, doesn't actually give a t0$$.

We are kindred spirits Oz.

Allow the fool to reach boiling point, then wait for the distant plopping sound when his major internal organs expire. ;)

by oz_media

They cannot 'step up to the plate'.

Yup, as usual I have offered to show up at the airport if he's interested.

[i]"What makes you worth me spending money? Nothing... You know where I live
Oz... It's in my profile... Unlike you, I'm not a coward to hide the town I
live in or my name.

Want it, come and get it... I'm in the phone book too bigot boy.

Oz... If I spent the amount of money that it would cost to come see you, it
wouldn't be on a flight. It would be to have you taken out.

Want me to spend the money bigot boy?"[/i]

I think everyone knows I am in Vancouver, YVR is a pretty hard place to miss.
Too expensive to fly here but worth it to "take me out" . :D

Flattered, but I already have a date.

What a maroon!

On another note, trying to read your post is tough enough, yet alone in a Scottish accent!

by the scummy one

After the emails all I could think was 'what a pair' :^0
With all of the f**ks going on, you 2 must be in love by now :^0 :^0

by oz_media

I had issues with one peer, but it was legal defamation issues. I just had them auto forward to my lawyer and autosent the original sender a notice to let him know.

by oz_media

TR was quite cooperative though and they were pretty good at shutting it all down.

At the time, OzMedia was still being used as a trade name for my promotional work, therefore unsupported character defamation actually comes in as a libel issue.

It didn't bother me as much as a band and label I was promoting at the time but I was under contract and had to defend it.

by oz_media

I not listed but you alrady know how to reach me and I'd meet for a cuppa joe in the west end anytime.

by gsg

I know someone who calls people Bigots and it seems to be his favorite word. Anyone whose opinion differs from his is called a bigot and accused of hating him because of his orientation. He then goes on to complain about everyone else in the world and how he's always been held back by all the bigots in the world, which is why he's not successful... Boo Hoo.

His real problem is his low self-esteem, paranoia, and that he's a Whiny T***Y Baby.

If it get's too bad, maybe he needs a whack up the side of the head with Mae's Shovel.
