	What about if it's the Horsefucker himself? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	It would be hilarious if he changed his name to Cassie Claire and then cheated on his horsewife with a camel, I think. Right? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm not quite sure. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Then I'll ban you. The last horsefucker wank involved people calling the police and organizing it in the comments, along with how to get to his rl address. What you do off here is your own business, but if you start it in the communities, you're in shit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	...meep. Da-yumn, I didn't even see that. Was just asking an objective question, I barely even read the posts. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Damn, I didn't hear about that either. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	holy shit - that's a bit fucking much (not the banning but the cops, etc) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I don't know, if it was in my State/Country, I'd be calling the cops. But then, in my country, it's kindave illegal. I wouldn't be commenting on it though, just phoning the police. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And that there was the crucial difference. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Shit! That's what I get for relying on the wiki for up-to-date summaries. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	The last horsefucker wank involved people calling the police and organizing it in the comments, along with how to get to his rl address. Whoa. Taking 'net stuff into real life is way uncool. Srsly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dana 2007-03-29 02:21 am UTC (link)
	Um, net stuff is real life. Not wanting to be wanky, but maybe not here, but in other situations if someone does something online that's clearly illegal, it's our responsibility to do something about it. Child pornography comes to mind, as does animal cruelty, etc, etc. The net isn't operating in some vacuum, it's part of the world we live in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kittenmommy 2007-03-29 02:30 am UTC (link)
	Child pornography, animal cruelty - sure. Where do we draw the line though? Pretty soon people will be turning in parents who spank or women who don't breastfeed their babies for "child abuse". You know, that whole "slippery slope" thing. The problem with this is that even though it might appear cut and dried, there really are no easy answers here. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well, uh, fucking an animal is pretty cut and dried. But that said, the rule they broke was organizing it here. We're not vigilantes. Others might be vigilantes, but not on, like, our yard. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well, where do you draw the line when it's your neighbours, or a workmate, or you suspect your eight year old niece is being interfered with by her father. Its not easy, but the net isn't special in that regard. And I firmly believe that if you know something is happening, where someone is getting hurt and you don't do anything, you're complicit.

I have to confess that back in the early '90s when the 'net was still young and fresh, I came across a post in a group I read that offered access to pics of naked children. I called* the FBI on their sorry asses.

*Yes, an actual phone call. This was before web pages (or at least before everyone and his grandmother had web pages). The FBI agent I spoke with didn't seem to know what I was talking about - where had I seen this "post"? It took me a long time to get him to understand that I'd seen it on an online community. Ah, the good old days.

	I think we've heard enough about 'horsefucker'. We don't need weekly updates on his sexlife. (Reply to this)(Parent)
