er...inline? I mean online !

There could be a series of documentaries about a person's beauty and what different people feel is attractive. Ridiculing the current media ideal would be the way to crack the psychological hold that is currently happening and causing problems.

Tatoos are really ugly. Please don't have a tat. It's like a dirty mark on your skin.

And is it possible to know about personal liberty MOORE that the Australian aboriginals?

Oh the grow a pair comment by Des Demona, thats a pretty offensive staement to a man..it means the man didn't do what the women wanted him to do whilst she stood and watched....

Lauren, IP' mean little in legal terms, what with internet cafes, wireless networks etc, and then the cost involved of obtaining possibly useless info. Not to mention the legal jungle that ensues.....A troll in some foreign country...well best of luck on that one. Limiting access must be first line of defence. but as Helen hinted at its a numbers game, 500 million users on FB equals revenue. 400 million means less.

Amy: "What seems to lie behind these wholly unacceptable attacks on female bloggers is the anonymity the internet affords"

Nope. Your theory is easily disproved by the numberless people who post under pseuds who do not take part in misogynistic attacks on female bloggers.

What lies behind these attacks is the acceptability of misogyny in mainstream discourse.

Has anyone else noticed that most people who leave aggressive, bigoted comments can't use an apostrophe, or spell worth a damn?

Are you really really grateful?

Maybe you're just trying to become my friend

It all depends ..doesn't it. We can compromise and therefore you can do what I say.

Have you figured out the dance moves yet? How can you have two people leading the dance?

Have a think about all of this. Sleep on it. Perhaps though you wont get up in the morning.

Is not the person who points out other people''''s bad English also an aggressive bigot?

Their bigotry might be eating themselves.

Yonmei; I asked you the question, how do you know that ALL women feel the same way as you do? You didn't answer that question. Are you speaking for all women?

For instance, I can say that I don't like to be chained, bound and whipped. But does that mean I am talking for ALL men? Some men like the idea of being assaulted in this way .. they even pay good money for it!

Yonmei do you like to be assaulted? Does any man like to be assaulted? Does any woman like to be assaulted?

Are you speaking for yourselfs'' or are you speaking for all wimmin?

I think MOST men don't like to be assaulted but VERY FEW obviously DO .. God know why!

Is that true about women? I can't speak for women because I'm not a woman no matter how I try I can't be you, Yonmei, a woman. A very attractive one at that!

It is possible to possible to Pogo. What do you think I've been doing?

"You have the right to hold your opinion, no matter how outrageous I find it: you don't have the right to have others pay (which they do, through hosting or advertising) for you to express it."

Hmm - Yes I can understand how one has the right to hold an opinion -no matter how outrageously it may be found; but surely this is because just who gets it eventually ( ie one's own opinion)remains one's own business.

And let's remember that on this side of the wonderful jungle that is the charity world, ordinary members of the public are actually allowed to make mistakes - unlike those who are working for some firm.

The position I'm coming from happily doesn't actually pay for anything. On the contrary, the opinions one offers out of the goodness of one's heart in places like this may well be the very stuff of outrageous fortunes.We all know this - it's common knowledge.

So, just who is following who here?

From me mate from the 'pool.

josephine;

Charity begins at home. Get your own house in order then move on. When I mean your house I mean your body as well. It doesn't have to be perfect .. it can be a bit frayed around the edges. Then you sort our partner and kids out... but you're kind of doing that at the same time.

Richard Herring has written (and talked) about the Ricky Gervais "mong" incident in which he discusses some of the abuse he received, and concluded that a lot of the problem is simply that people are idiots.

One of my favourite quotes from George Carlin: "Think how stupid the average person is, and then remember that half the population are more stupid than that."

I am not trying to make light of the evident abuse that female bloggers receive simply by virtue of their gender. But I don't think that it is unique in any way; it's merely that there are certain categories of abuse which are more easily applied to women so they tend to be the default ones.

Across the veneer of the vendetta
There lies a lonely soul
Shrouded in a room
With his comic books
And his Teletubby
All shinny bright
If only he could play outside with all the boys at night
But nobody will give the time of day
Then all of a sudden a voice comes through
And says Fack you

Buzz Buzz Buzz
He He He

@Yonmei: thanks for that clarification.

'No one, whatever their gender, enjoys being sexually assaulted.'

But don't we need to clarify the word 'assault'. To assault someone is to force someone to do something against their will. Would you agree with that?

But then we have the problem of two people confronting one another. There is a very narrow path. Each person wants to get through but in order to do so that one person needs to step aside. But neither of them want to do that. How is the decision made?

As Yonmei said, " No one wants to be sexually assaulted." It's that simple.

Bee: yes MOST people don't like to be called 'ugly'. Sometimes I get stuck into certain blokes because I want to 'shake' them a bit. Get them off balance a bit. For instance I got stuck into Alan Moore's appearance because he wants to chop down loads of trees to make a BIG book with his name on it... hasn't he caused enough environmental damage to the earth with his bullshit? Also he tries to implant negative images into people's minds. And his appearance frightens children. Then he has this pompous notion that he has worked out what the world is like! All he has done in his life is spend his time in a room with a pile of paper cut from beautiful forests. So I feel it is justified to call him all the names under the sun... because my motivation is the love of the earth and the children of it. People can't just go around destroying the world for their own personal satisfaction of seeing their name on some big fat paper book. There's loads of books in the libraries and why can't he just write like me without paper? No some people need to be chopped down to size. And don't get me started on the Royal Family pompous*******!

Yes people abuse people on the internet, but it seems so very clear that women get a particularly nasty form of abuse which is aimed at them for being female and having opinions about anything.

Thanks Colin. I think mp3 and digital TV programs are a good way to 'sell' information. You don't need to wreck the environment.

Yea that's true. I find it's best to compromise when my wife and I have a dispute. If I want red curtains and she wants yellow .. we compromise .. we have yellow curtains.

There was this frog in me swimming pool today. I said lets keep it there. She said no it'll get in the works ... take it out. We compromised .. I took it out. I said I'll feed it to the chickens. She said no don't do that. We compromised .. I didn't feed it to the chickens.

Anyway in the end I put in this spare water tank I've got that I bought from the tip shop for 5 bucks.

Yea it's really important to compromise.
