So, I used Geo-location to point out the position of richwick's tongue relative to a body part of a notorious world leader. However, it appears that patnet doesn't encourage use of advanced Geo-positioning features. That would explain why my posts were marked "personal" and I was banned - https://patrick.net/post/1344825/?comment_id=1837832 Yet I'm posting this, hence the title (probably a bug)

To be clear: I don't plan to exploit this bug. Let's call it "honor system ban".

If anyone decides to p-2-p to me, here's my public key:

You can encrypt your message by doing something like this:
> openssl rsautl -encrypt -inkey mostly-reader-pub.pem -pubin -in message-to-mostly-reader.txt | openssl base64
- assuming that you save your message to me in "message-to-mostly-reader.txt" and my public key in "mostly-reader-pub.pem" (of course you should know better than put it in ~/.ssh)

You then may post the resulting encrypted message right here, for me to decrypt/read.

Good luck in your future endeavors.

Looks like when one door for free speech opens (Twitter) another one closes (P.net).

@Patrick. Doxing and Cyberstalking ordinary users is acute assholery.

Everyone knows the rule: no deliberately personal insults.

This is against freedom of speech.

I agree to some extent. The issue is that when one person feels they were really wronged in a thread, they do something stupid and bring the whole site down because of their actions. I've had the ability to moderate here and I tend to let it go. Doxxing and personal threats are the big ones I'd moderate. Insulting another user just makes the person insulting look like a dip shit (not picking sides on this, just stating how I feel about it). Make me laugh honestly.

I've been guilty of being a dick to users here, but I've backed off on that. If someone needs to be that petty there are other personal issues. No one online should get under your skin that much to be a dick. Pick a neutral site and have a fist fight. Not joking. Back your words up. Forum/Twitter/FB/etc. trolls are just pussies generally that got their asses kicked on the playground and think they're making up for past transgressions though typing.

I'd collaborate with Patrick, but I've thought about writing a book on this. The dynamics of internet forums and social media. Not the best writer myself, but I think with the right editor it would be really intriguing on the psychology side of things. Y'all fucked up including me ;) and I think we all know this to an extent. My old man would troll forums/news sites in the panhandle of FL.

Honestly, this is how I feel about it as well.

Yes, it was a bug. Fixed now.

Persistence spaming personal insult is other matter...
Also threats and extreme vulgarity is unacceptable.


mostly reader was indeed persistently posting personal insults which were extremely vulgar.

FarmersWon says
All the kings will be happy if personal insults are banned.



You can insult public figures who are not on this site. The rule is about other users of the site.

I'm just asking for people to stay on a debatable issue and not get hung up about the other person personally. No one's mind was ever changed by direct vulgar insults.
