Betrayal

Thursday, January 12th, 2012

I’d like to think threads on how to justify racism or sexism wouldn’t have been posted, and if they had, would have been free of ‘helpful’ advice, with people rightfully concerned about having their names associated with comments that could be taken out of context to hurt someone. But not only was it OK to post, far too many people thought it was OK to participate in, for me to feel like I was in a place I should be, so goodbye to that.

Life is better lived off-line anyways.

Karen Hulley, Nurse of Hate?

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

A Seattle jury gave Karen Hulley a pass on her mistreatment of a gay couple.  From her own lawyer’s closing statements, it sounds like a clear cut case of discrimination, validated by a pathetic bunch of homophobic jurors.  If you were on that jury, you should be just as ashamed of yourself as the bigot Karen Hulley.  You let your personal small minded hate rule you, and you are a lesser person for it.  I hope someday you get treated with the love and respect you denied others, and that it opens your mind to just how terrible you have behaved.  If you have Karen Hulley for a nurse, I would worry about your safety.  Someone willing to put her own hate above the care of a dieing patient isn’t someone you should trust your life to.  I wouldn’t trust Karen Hulley with a bag of shit.

Amazon Rank Fiasco

Monday, April 13th, 2009

It seems some homophobe is in control of the censorship desk at Amazon, and has decided that any title with a Gay-ish theme is unworthy of having an Amazon Rank; but naughy hetero titles are still just fine.  Naturally, the spokeslime for Amazon is telling a tall tale, to protect their homophobic friend, but hopefully once Jeff Bezos wakes up this morning, he’ll get around to publicly firing and shaming the appropriate party.

UPDATE:  Amazon has been making the rounds with a bogus story, blaming some anonymous french worker over the Easter weekend.  Never mind that there’s ZERO chance of someone in a French office on Easter doing anything but the most critical tasks, it wouldn’t explain the official policy statements sent to authors over the last few months, nor how any system could classify pro-gay books with “sexuality”, but wouldn’t similarly tag anti-gay books, much less leaves the Ron Jeremey autobiography untouched.

Nope, this was a deliberate action by someone at Amazon.  Maybe not authorized, but definetly deliberate, and someone is definetly deliberately making the problem worse spreading horseshit around, instead of soap.
