Nina,

What did you do to be branded a cunt by Brock Landers?

Maybe he was trying to compliment you. That Brock Landers, so misunderstood.

From nerve.com:

Every morning on my way in to work, Diamond passed judgment on me. She was tall and gorgeous, with long black hair, dark skin, and the best back-of-the-truck Louis Vuitton that Chinatown could fashion. Her breasts she'd also gotten on the cheap — hormones from shady doctors or birth-control pills stolen from female relatives — but she knew how to work all those fakes into a real package.

Most mornings, she'd take one look at my sorry social-work ass — no-brand jeans, scuffed black shoes, second-hand button-down shirt — and utter a devastating two-syllable critique.

"Mmmhmm," she'd say, a sound made at the back of the mouth, up towards the nose, with the emphasis on the second syllable. Not to be confused with the positive "mmmhmm," made at the front of the mouth and an affirmation I rarely received.

Each time, I cringed. I was twenty-three, fresh from college, and had long repressed the cruelty of high-school fashion fascism. Now here it was, thrown right back at me, magnified a hundred times. There were many ways in which the Harvey Milk School, New York's high school for at-risk lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth, was a safe haven. But when it came to appearance (especially that of the teachers and staff), it was a war zone with a cafeteria.

But then there were those magic days, few and far between, when I had just the right amount of product in my hair, or wore shoes that complemented my belt and bag. Diamond would look at me in the elevator as we rode in to school together, or pass me in the hallway, and break out in a big smile.

"You look cunt!" she'd say. Or sometimes just the abbreviated, "Cunty!" If I was really on, she'd add a snap of her fingers, or she'd pop her tongue.

I cringed those times, too, but for different reasons. I'd do a quick check to see if anyone else had heard. We had strict rules against cursing in school, and I'd be in trouble if I didn't correct her. But I was just five years older than Diamond, and a white guy from the suburbs — was I really going to reprimand her for complimenting me? Not if I could get away with avoiding it. At most, I'd cock my head and say "Diamond," in a voice I had modeled off the principal on Saved by the Bell.

Among the staff, we called it "the C-bomb." Most of us had no idea how to handle it.

If it had been used as an insult, we'd be on them like the outspoken feminists we were. But a compliment? It was too difficult to parse — like when I meet gay Christians who are pro-choice but voted twice for Bush. I couldn't figure out what was right or wrong.

I had an undergraduate degree in Feminist Studies. I had read (and loved) Cunt: A Declaration of Independence. But my only experiences with hearing the word "cunt" aloud revolved around performance art that invoked the word to shock. I put "cunt," like "faggot," in a category of words that were "problematic" and made me revert to my most academic self, so I could talk around them without ever issuing a judgment on who "could" or "should" use them. I saw it as a good excuse to use words like "reclamation" and "subjectivity." Don't even get me started on the N-word.

When called upon, I discoursed easily on the history of cunt: its contested origin (the Proto-Germanic kunton or the Latin cunnus, both of which refer to female genitalia), its history as a derogatory term (traceable back to a seedy alley in thirteenth-century London named Gropecunt Lane), and its possible relationship to words like "country" and "kin." But I would never, ever, have uttered it myself.

One day, I found Diamond and a few of the other transgirls gathered around a computer looking at a hardcore-porn site. The kind with slogans like "split wet beavers," and other combinations of degrading animal metaphors and synonyms for "lubricious." This was definitely against the rules, and moreover, we could have lost our funding or gotten arrested had the wrong person caught them.

"Oh," said Natasha, one of the younger girls, as I approached to shut down the computer. "They're so beautiful." She reached out a tentative hand to stroke the image of a clinically-bright close-up on a woman's stretched vag. Natasha was crying. It was the kind of picture that would have been disgusting under most circumstances, but the reverence in her voice made it seem a work of art. After that, I let them look up all the vaginas they wanted — but in my office, where they wouldn't get us all in trouble.
 
Okay Brock. That is seriously enough. WTF did you think was going to happen by posting all of that info on a PUBLIC FORUM? If Nina didn't call, someone else would have even if only to get a laugh at your expense and become the forum hero for a minute. For all you know, other people did call as well and they're merely letting Nina bear the brunt of your anger.

This is your fault. No one else's. You put that information out there for anyone to do with it as they pleased. Nina didn't agree with your keeping the money at the expense of an innocent teller. That's her prerogative. Just as it's yours to be pissed off. But threatening a woman isn't going to win you any fans, even if you have no intention/ability to follow up on your words.
 
Apparently not as my cousin Stacy is in a 24 hour timeout for saying that word to Shari91.

I would hate to even remotely think there are different rules for different posters so assuming the above.

Rules aren't different for different posters, although generally newer posters are on a shorter leash, and brock just got himself a similar timeout. If you/someone feels that a post is inappropriate then reporting the post (clicking on the black triangle with exclamation mark below the particular post) means that someone will deal it with sooner as opposed to if someone only happens to randomly come across it.

Gamelive's rules will be administered however the Brass feels on that day. She should really take it personally because it takes a lot to get a timeout in this neck of the woods. A little more civility towards posters here is necessary to stick around.
 
she ratted me out and is proud, i'd crack her fucking skull if i could right now

You ratted yourself out like you always do, silly cunt! No one would've given a shit had you not boasted to the masses about doing the borderline-sociopathic thing, again like you always do!

Look at me, I'm ripping CD's off of the library! I'm gonna charge people 50 bucks to fill their iPods with that shit! Bow down before my entrepreneurial skillz! I'm Brock Landers and I'm fucking clever!

I love you you motherfucking bonehead.
