The implied threats in this thread blow my mind.

I truly believe if this was in any other subsection this thread would have been locked all to hell long ago.

You know, this has the potential to get REAL ugly between us but I'm going to forego getting into it with you.

Instead let me thank you for showing your true colors to every member of this board with the "tough guy" act.

So very true! We should focus on important issues regarding promoting OC and developing it into an exercise that does not have to come with the threat of harassment and pettiness. Some suggested tactics and methodology could go a long way.

Speaking of pettiness:

It has been a long time since I gave a neg rep. A veiled threat is still a threat. If you plan to flame me for the rep, please do so in another thread.

. . . .

that is not the way it should be and, for some people, the fact that it is that way is extremely frustrating.

thus, when someone does actually step up to fight such rights violations, that frustration can come through in the expressions of support for that person. i don't think it's so much about a vicarious power trip as it is about "finally, someone is standing up for what is right...perhaps justice will finally be done in at least this one case".

I understand frustration. One thing I understand about it is that one is ill-advised to let it get the better of him in a fight.

As for expressions of support, I have no problem with people expressing support. We all have to support each other, because if we don't nobody else will. I support the action these folks have decided to take. In fact, I support them to the extent I don't want the import of their struggle to be obscured.

I recognize my ire with people who only show up after the fact and on the Internet is putting more of an edge on my posts. None of that is directed at the Plaintiffs, however; they are obviously doing something.

We typically don't lock threads for a rules violation by one person. We issue infractions.

Then I expect you have been very busy.

I'm full aware the potential consequences of OC. The discussion of late revolves around someone saying we were not damaged.

Bolded the section I'm responding to. I never said the plaintiffs were not damaged; don't put words in my mouth thank you.

My post #2087 was a response to the actual words printed in post #2086. I was responding to what he wrote. So looking at the color of my post, I deny the false accusation of marginalizing your damages. If it appears to anyone that I did, I apologize for my insensitivity, it was not intentional or malicious.

People are still missing my point though of the bad press this mob mentality brings.

Yes it's your right to proceed with the case, but in my opinion you're no better than the cops who mistreated you.
