JanSParticipantDBP..but what is your opinion of the picture, the original post. Yes, it was reported…so what? What’s your real beef? Is it with JoB? Is it with “reporting” in general? I don’t get what you are saying…please explain. I see nothing wrong with taking this photo down…it’s rude, it’s not necessary for the story. And once more, you’ve made it personal to you…
Back to the OP…the story could have been explained sans picture…it was wrong. Flipping someone off like that? Well, you were taking her picture…what did you expect? Did she flip you off before you decided to take a picture? I’m thinking no….so own it….
no one deserves that kind of treatment

CaitParticipantJanS – At what point is it just inhumane of us to expect rationality from someone who knows that they are in the wrong and why?

WSratsinacageMemberThe child didn’t deserve to be treated the way that they were treated.

cardogMemberDear WSB Forum posters,
I’m sure you’re all a bunch of well-intentioned, (and overly-sensitive) people and are mostly kind folks…even the trolls among you. But I stand by my post. If you have a problem with my kid’s behavior then take it up with me. It’s never cool for an adult to be rude to a child, even when they’re being loud at a restaurant. So don’t get righteously indignant with me when I call you out online for doing that to a kid.
Now, pardon me while I compose my next Rant about what an injustice it is that my kid is on the waitlist for Gatewood.

Spring ChickenMemberAppropriate adult behavior would be for you to express your opinion directly to her or to the restaurant manager then to LET IT GO.
You anonymously posted this lady’s photo online and badmouthed her behind her back. Is this the behavior that you model for your kids?
April 30, 2013 at 6:04 pm #789246
BonnieParticipantI don’t have a problem with you ranting about the person being mean to your kids. I’d rant too. I just wouldn’t post a picture. :)

KevinParticipantThe OP evidently got the message. “posting deleted by author” on CL.

smokeycretin9Participantcan we get back to publicly shaming dog owners who let their dog run on Alki Beach please?
April 30, 2013 at 6:56 pm #789249
JoBParticipantGlad to see the picture gone. That’s all I cared about.
Car dog.. I hear what you are saying but taking that picture and posting it said far more about your behavior than you wanted us to know
I hope you learned something from it

EdSaneParticipant@cardog, consider reddit. This forum isn’t exactly the right fit for that content…On a personal note, Im cool with it…how many here complain about steriod bmw dude, no pic but enough detail to identify.

Spring ChickenMemberGood riddance @cardog but I doubt you’ll be popular on Reddit either… and next time I see that lady that you cyber-bullied, at Luna Park Cafe?
I will buy her lunch!
April 30, 2013 at 10:11 pm #789253
DBPMember. . . and I’ll buy Good Riddance Girl a mink coat if she’ll just come back to me.
Think I can’t afford it? Ha!
(Saw this today, SWiWS.)

DBPMemberIn re: Jan (#26)
I’m glad that Jo clarified that her beef was just with the photo. I’m not sure why she needed to come on here and crow about it, though, frankly.
The lesson to be learned here is that, ultimately, the OP was prevailed on to remove the photo from both here and CL. And it was peer pressure that did the trick. Not some self-appointed Blog cop.
People have gone overboard with the whole flagging and censoring thing lately. It’s harming the WS Blog.
Better to have too little censorship than too much, says I.
April 30, 2013 at 10:55 pm #789255
CaitParticipantDo we have to go over this again – the paranoia that someone is censoring you? And that you think that you know who it is and that you’ve been told time and time again that they are not reporting you?
April 30, 2013 at 11:04 pm #789256
EdSaneParticipant@Spring Chicken, have you heard of reddit? Lmao…as to buying the lady lunch. Could you also ask her about the alleged incident and report back?
April 30, 2013 at 11:43 pm #789257
Spring ChickenMemberDown votes to all /r/badparents and other /r/assholes! hahaha because
even Reddit has standards of “reddiquette.”
Thanks Ed, I will, but we could probably guess what really happened, LOL!

WSBKeymasterCait: No, we don’t have to go through it again.
All: There is no “censorship” going on. WSB is a business. We have rules of conduct. If something posted here breaks those rules, it is subject to deletion. That’s not “censorship.”
No business in its right mind allows somebody to (a) break its rules – which could be as simple as no shirt/no shoes/no service, but in our case, have to do with civility; that is what this forum was born from, and where its roots will remain. If you want to go have a poo-slinging discussion, PLEASE have it somewhere else, we will miss you, but we are not changing the rules.
Also (b) no business in its right mind allows someone to sit on its property bellowing about how it sucks. We’ve put up with too much of that bullsh*t already. If you think we suck and our rules suck, no one is forcing you to be here. We’ve patiently allowed at least one person to do that incessantly in recent weeks. No more, sorry.
The forum was founded as a place for people to help each other. End of story. Anything else is fine as long as it doesn’t break the rules.
It’s gone through a lot of changes by popular demand. But those have been positive changes. Dropping the civility rule would not be a positive change.
We’ve been bullied and taunted and ridiculed, on this site and off it – and I’m finally standing up and saying, no more. I don’t have time any more to hope this problem will self-correct. This website has rules, and we are damned proud of them. Please follow them; anyone who repeatedly breaks them is declaring, as have five people in the past four years, that they are no longer interested in participating here.

shed22ParticipantA lovely friend of mine often says, “I hate everyone and everything”, with earnestness and with irony. That’s how I feel right now.

Spring ChickenMemberCardog is Blazeember, the same person. Both aliases were created today just for this thread. Before you make anonymous accusations and post someone’s photo, next time show your own face too. That’s only fair.
May 1, 2013 at 1:19 am #789261
shed22ParticipantTracy, you are my favorite person. Seriously.
May 1, 2013 at 1:21 am #789262
blazeemberMemberSpring Chicken…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz earlier you said something about “letting it go” …what a fabulous idea.
May 1, 2013 at 1:34 am #789263
BreezyParticipantNicely said, Tracy. As a new community member and one who is looking to buy a home here and stay for the long haul, I really like having this site available for recommendations, news, volunteer op’s, and lots of other good stuff. I have often said to people who asked how do I know about that, you’re so new, “I read about it on the West Seattle Blog!” Thanks!

JanSParticipantwow…just wow…
thank you, TR…that spelled it out pretty clearly :) Nothing wrong with civility !
May 1, 2013 at 2:18 am #789265
CaitParticipantTR – thanks!
