I Had To Drop The Hammer On An Anti-Semite Site That Used My Stuff.

[DistressedAmerican]

This kind of thing was bound to happen at some point as it is always difficult to control stuff once it goes out. But I found this freaking anti-jewish conspiracy site using one of my graphics.

It was originally this graphic:


(I am attacing the oil driven neo-cons. That is in no way implying the kind of bullshit that these fools want to assert. Screw them and their anti-Semitic hate!)

I replaced it with harsh rebuke:

http://www.network54.com/Forum/33351/message/1151418814/Another%20Bloodbath%20is%20Coming-%20MASSACRE%20on%20SYRIA





I find it revolting when anyone implies that there is some Jewish conspiracy to control our government, our foriegn policy, etc. It is repugnant and racist. It is a fiction and a slur.

There is a conspiracy a foot. AN OIL AND WAR PROFITEER CONSPIRACY!!!

It has to do with greed not Zionism. Any other implication offends me completely. I certainly do not want to be in any way associated with such sentiments.

The kind of implications being made by this site make me sick and I sure as hell hope that they get the message.

1. Good for you. I'm glad you found it.

[DistressedAmerican]

5. It Is Good To Track Your Traffic And Folks Linking!

I have never had an issue before this.

However, I will be sure to keep an eye on thse bigots in the future.

2. ...

You should have replaced it with gay porn

:evilgrin:

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

3. Right on!

You did exactly the right thing. The last thing we need to do is spread more hate in the world. Glad you stood up to this site. Hope they never post any of your work again.

8. Pretty Safe At The Moment.

I do not see anyone else linking to it right now and I will be changing the link on my site to show the original again.

In top of that, I actually think it better to shine light on cockroackes like this.

That is why I posted in fact. People should know these people are out there and they should know what kind of stuff they are spreading. Know your enemy.

[ContraBass Black]

7. I'm never, ever going to hotlink from you.

:D

[DistressedAmerican]

9. Lots Do Without A Problem.

This is only the second time I have objected in all my years. The first was some asshat at that site we do not talk abut around here. That was a fun one though. This Pisses me off.

I'm sure you'd be just fine.

10. Let me say something about Network54.com

Network54.com is a website that makes it's business by providing forums for people. Anyone can start a forum at N54. There are thousands of message forums there. They provide a service like Myspace provides a service to their users.

There are some very good forums at N54. One forum, the forum that led me to DU, is Liberal America:

http://www.network54.com/Hide/Forum/259017

I have several forums at N54 that are automotive-related.

A forum at N54 is a reflection of the owner. There are assholes at N54, and you have found. But the assholes are not the fault of the owners of N54.

If any DUers feel like starting a message forum at N54, I suggest you try to find a good PHPBB forum provider instead. I say that because the N54 forum software is old and not that good. The popups on the free forums are noxious. But still it's not bad, fairly reliable and stupid easy to set up and personalize.

Anyways, not everyone with forums at N54 are Nazis, but unfortunately there are some Nazis using N54 to hurl evil.

Oh, and DA rulz!

[DistressedAmerican]

11. Thanks For The Clarification. I Was Unfamiliar.

Maybe someone should alert the people that run network54 about this particular site residing on their servers. Would not be bad to see it go down?

Any takers?

[Gold Metal Flake]

14. Check yer PM

[DistressedAmerican]

15. You Rock. Just Got Back To Ya!

You are a good man! Thanks!

[Gold Metal Flake]

17. Done.

That fuggin' post takes a while to load even on DSL. All the links, animated gifs, stolen images and HATE HATE HATE.

Per N54 TOS, section 8:

It is Network54's function to operate as an Internet Service Provider, facilitating the free exchange of ideas, opinions, and information. However, Network54 prohibits content or links to content or Network54 Resources that contain(s):
<snip>
Hatred and racism of any kind.

Now, these N54 management guys are slow, so I will keep on it.

Looking at the forum, it is an old and sort of abandoned forum for people who play Fighters Anthology. This forum does not require posters to be registered with the forum or N54. Anyone can press Post and post something. Such forums are easy pickings for spam bots. There are some spam posts there. I believe the hate post you were hot linked in, and several others there, are the result of a racist spam bot. I'll bet these posts are on other open or abandoned N54 forums as well.

Internet Nazis. I hate Internet Nazis.

[DistressedAmerican]

23. That Is FANTASTIC.

Sounds like this site is in clear violation of the posting rules there.

I was sickened to find my graphic as the lead in to a long interview with David Freaking Duke of all nazi's!

Get your shades on, gas up the caddy and roll my friened. I hate internet Nazi's enough to drive them right off the cyberbridge.

Thnks a lot for this one. I owe you.

12. I'd like to ask you a serious question:

Do you also believe that there a no Christian conspiracies to control our government?

50. Need We Really Count The Times You Have Accused Others Of Being Liars

or sick or acting like Holocaust deniers?

Would you now like to list examples of any of the above supposed conspiracies? I took you all this time to even mention one of these supposed "conspiracies". Maybe you'll be a little quicker to provide some detail to this string of accusations.

I'm sure I'm not the only one here interested in your mind's inner workings.

[BuyingThyme]

51. Again I ask you, why do you deny the existence of the Ku Klux Klan?

Every time I bring it up, you deny I brought it up. How do you explain such a thing?

36. Where did that meme come from?

We prove negatives all the time. In math it's about the easiest kind of proof to do.

[Swamp Rat]

41. LOL! This is not math!

But I appreciate your injecting logic into the conversation. I wasn't talking about "proof" in the same sense as a mathematical proof, which establishes that something is inherent in the meaning of something else. Negative statements often make claims that are hard to prove because they make predictions about things impossible to observe in a finite period time. And yes, I agree with you: one can prove negative, but that requires a positive or a truth that demonstrates a contradiction. This I did not find in the above posts.

Maybe I should have stated "you cannot prove THIS negative," for if he could prove an affirmative, then it would be possible to prove infinite negative claims. Nowhere did I see proof of a positive, whereas I did see ad hominem.

21. Good for you!!

And good for you for tackling the other oddness in this thread. :crazy:

[DistressedAmerican]

22. I Suspected I'd Draw An Odd One Or Two.

But the logic there is stunning in its convolution.

[Behind the Aegis]

25. LOL!

Seems to be the night for convoluted "logic." :) As for it being "stunning;" 'confusing,' yes, 'stunning'...hardly! I am glad you did what you did.

[dogday]

27. As an artist, I have to agree this kind

of thing is offensive when it is used in the wrong way... I offer graphics for private use for the internet public.. All I ask is don't link to my server and don't alter my work....

When I see someone stealing my images, I change them to phrases lick BANDWIDTH BANDIT OR THIS PERSON IS STEALING AN IMAGE....Things like that.....

Report their actions to the server, unless of course it is their own.. But most servers have policies in which they do not allow copyright infringement or hate sites....

[Cameron27]

30. do you have any info on your site for a total beginner..

I don't even know how to get an image posted on this forum...

Do you know where I can find any info at all?

[DistressedAmerican]

31. Posting An Image Is Easy.

All you have to do is right click the image and select properties.

Ones you have that open, just copy the URL for the image and paste it into the text you are posting.

PM me if you have troubles, Should be pretty straight forward.

I always like more images!

Ok, sounds easy enough--I'll give it a try.

29. Network54 seems to LOVE David Duke. How disgusting. And people say

anti-semitism isn't on the rise? They only hate the Israeli government...yeah right. David Duke was welcomed with open arms in Syria. Now, why was that? Oh, I know!!! Because they LOVE the Jews and Israel!:eyes:

Thanks for this post, BTW, Distressed American.

[npincus]

33. there is a "jewish conspiracy" satire site...

that's quite funny. I assume that wasn't the one that hijacked your work.

[DistressedAmerican]

35. Nothing satirical about this shit hole!

Pure racist hate from top to bottom.

Some people are so messed up, I really do not even know where to start tearing down their scewed worldview.

[rockymountaindem]

34. Thanks!

That's a good way to hit back at those fools. Good for you.

[npincus]

37. you put that forum out of business.

good.

[DistressedAmerican]

38. Great! Big Shout Out To Opposite Reaction! He Hates Internet Nazis!

I had not looked back. But, it looks like it has been killed.

I guess the hammer got dropped a lot harder thanks to a fellow DUer!

A small victory.
