i could give my home address to any internet bully but they won't make it to where i live.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Wow. That's really lame.

I mean, I get my fair share of hate mail (I post the weekly Q/A thread @ r/mechanicalkeyboards), but that's not like this. Also reddit is mostly teenagers and neckbeards and I like it better here anyway.

Just keep doing what you're doing. Unless I've knowingly done something to attract hate (and trust me you'd know if I was doing that), I usually just ignore hate mail.

Don't send me hate mail. If you have something rude to say, come say it to my face. I'll even give you my home address if you ask me.

I think everyone should work this way. If you have something rude so say to anyone, go say it to JDCarpe's face. The Offical GH abuse-absorbing device.

That hate mail smacks of someone either very young and immature, or with some serious mental defects. Rest assured that anyone that can produce garbage like that will eventually say similar stuff to someone in person, and karma will deliver.

Sometimes hate mail could be warranted. If people want to send hate mail to The_Profosist, or even bavman, then feel free. But it wasn't warranted in this case. It was just an excuse for some racist ******* to spew his vitriol at MOZ. So yeah, if people like that have something to say, by all means come say it to me in person, and we can settle things in a more, shall I say personal manner.

I missed the original post as I've been away today, could someone shoot the screen shot to me via pm or explain to me what the reference to me was about

Moz has always been good to me and aside from how he treats me on a personal level, he puts lots of work into this forum and I'm sure whatever was said was clearly out of line

There was a guy that emailed him an email thoughtfully titled "You ***hole"

He proceeded to call MOZ a "****ing *****" or something like that.

He then claimed that MOZ was "licking bunny's ***" or something like that and called MOZ a piece of "cheap indian ****".

I don't understand.

Yep, please provide the original "nasty" retort from that individual.  Since reading from the beginning of this posting some ignorant moron's like to pass the buck to an "Australian" being the culprit, but better still some brain-dead - idiot, even posts that it was me...... I nearly fell over laughing to think that when it came to underhanded behaviour that someone thinks I'm in his league.  Sadly I'm not and am quite proud of it.

Quite simply I don't like to call people names, unless provoked.  It's usually the old guantlet being thrown down first, to which there needs to be a response.  But today at work everything has gone together perfectly and will be getting an added bonus this coming week.  So for me personally, only good karma shall ensue.

Sorry MOZ had to be the victim here but I'm afraid this is now the normal forum-life behaviour.   Anyone can join under a false email account and literally get away with anything. It's been done everywhere else hence I don't see it being minimized here at all.

Only the people who have dealt with MOZ knows what he's really like and why would he need to care what some sad 'little' tosser thinks about him?  I certainly couldn't care what anyone thinks about me here on GH, and why would I need to.  My worth comes through other things like the family I have, the REAL friends I know and of course the job that pays for a small amount of fun, here on Geekhack.

It was actually me who said I thought it read like it was written by an Australian, cool your jets.

seeing this now moz, i read the email via the grapevine, i just wanna say that it was horrible...

one thing i've discovered about GH...everyone is just as image obsessed here as they are in real life...everyone speaks behind closed doors and no one really has the courage to say things truthfully out loud here on geekhack or in the irc..especially on the irc. people can screenshot here and claim to see things, but the poster can edit their post and whatnot, and people can still hide what they said here, so even that is slightly untrue. in the irc, nothing can be taken back, everything is seen. you usually wont find cowards in the irc... :))

please ignore what this person said as it's horrible and untrue...incredibly cowardly...

there is truth in that statement...i do agree with that. But with some seriously manipulative and sad people on GH, their image is everything. They can't edit and twist their words after they have said them on the IRC, and thus, you won't usually find them there (some prefer skype :))).

There are too many problems with circlejerks and GH and the community and some cliques for me to even type out..everyone has an opinion and i can't do it tonight..

The good news is that the thread served its purpose, the person that sent the hate mail, realized his mistake and sent an apology.

I won't post a screenshot, as it contains their username.

The extract of the mail is that the person was frustrated by some GBs regarding the Phantom and a case related to it which have been stalled and/or delayed for a long time. He was frustrated and drunk and then saw some of my posts in the open source TKL case and GHPad threads and got even more mad regarding the case and how acrylic case designers work.

He apologised and said he knows all that was said was unnecessary and wished me to continue my work.

Auzzie? I reckon it was rowdy  :p

Yeah thanks for that.

Not me.

Nope.

Haven't ordered anything from Moz.

my view on this is neatly summarized by MOZ's new star.

+1 gratz Moz!

Geez, I'm in a conference all day at work and miss all the excitement!

In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

also, the word "brown" is very wrong as an insult. brown skin looks nice, hides many possible skin defects, is sunproof and serves you well in the mountains or on the beach. also if your skin is brown, they can call you "a chocolate"!
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Not sure if intentional or not :P
unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)
