Comments: I Had To Ban A Commenter
Ha, I banned an Aussie anti-psych dewd a couple months ago but left the thread up where he calls me a fucking fat cunt. Just sayin, some groups might consider policing their own.

Dear Philip:
Sometimes enough is just enough! No one deserve constant disrespect or personal attacks.
But I have to be a little bit more honest here. I was actaully writing this post to make sure I was not the one being Banned {laughing}.
Your truly
Stan

stan that's a good one. robin, i cannot believe someone called you that. geez. and to all of you, i am not interested in banning people and it takes a lot to get me to hit the ban button.

and for perspective it was a commenter calling me a fucking cunt-- for drugging my daughter on purpose. life on the internet.

lastly, it's interesting to note here that my commenter that ranted disgusting rants to me came directly from this blog according to my site meter.

Testing... :)
Just 5 with all this work!
I used to consider myself a democratic person. But I believe if I were at your shoes 5 would not do.
But I've learned that silence is golden sometimes.
I've noticed your vehement silence.
I did the same.
Thanks for the lesson.

I've got another one from Brisbane today. Makes me think they are pharma reps that have been banned to OZ for not pimping enough products in the USA.

Found your site by way of Stans blog. I will be back because now your on my blog roll. That's how I keep track of blogs I want to get back to. That or an email subscription.
I didn't see that option,are you going to add email subscriptions? There is a lot of information on your blog thanks for all the work you do in the mental illness field.

Those are the ones who really bring "anti-psychiatry" into disrepute. The Danish users magazine I'm writing for listed "anti-psychiatry" as one of my fields of interest, and, yes, that's true enough. Yet, I felt slightly uncomfortable, reading it on their website. Just because of commenters like the one you've banned. Why can't people just keep the party clean?? It would only be in their own interest.

I know I'm late to this party but I think we need to make one thing clear:
You didn't ban a commenter, you banned a troll and you do not have to feel guilty about banning trolls.
