Threatening A Person's Job

 
This was copied and pasted from the Opinion page of the Pacific Daily News.  This is the one big reason why many of us remained anonymous.  Tim Rohr threatned Zoltan's job.  Zoltan made a comment to Deacon Martinez's letter to the PDN.  He voiced his own opinion and experience of posting in the jungle.  

But look at Tim's response.  Was Tim discussing anything that Zoltan wrote about?  What does math have to do with religious beliefs?  Since when do people take into account a person's religious beliefs or opinions that has nothing to do with math?  It is clear that Tim Rohr was threatening Zoltan's job by addressing the University Administration with a negative remark about Zoltan as a person they allow to run loose.   Why address the University Administration when that was never the topic of discussion to begin with???? The weblink of their comments can be found here.

Dear Deacon Steve, I respect your opinion. However, I have to disagree. Internet blogs can be useful as forums to share thoughts. But there are minimal cultural expectations blogs have to keep in order to be considered worthy to read. In most European and mainland American blogs with wider readership there are some unwritten rules followed that enforce these expectations and make the ensuing conversations possible. These basic rules are simply not followed at JungleWatch.

As a former commenter at Tim Rohr's blog, I was greatly embarrassed to see that many of my comments challenging Tim's position were simply censured out. When I protested, Tim stole my profile picture from social media and posted it on his blog, together with my workplace information including my office location and phone number. It was such an abuse of trus...t that would never ever happen at any of the above mentioned culturally acceptable blog sites.

I warned Tim about a year ago that his methods of managing his blog are intellectually dishonest. You may read about this more here: http://www.johntreed.com/debate.html . Then, a mob of anonymous comment-trolls were unleashed on me, trying to silence and chase me away from his blog. I suspended my comments altogether under these culturally unacceptable circumstances. So it is completely justified to call these kinds of "grey matter" blogs like JungleWatch, that do not follow a required minimum in fairness and conduct, trash blogs and hate blogs as these terminus exactly describe and cover their scopes.

If you, dear Deacon Steve, want to have meaningful exchanges of ideas to happen on blogs, you have to establish one with minimal cultural expectations. In particular, you have to ensure that

1. only registered persons can make comments;
2. anyone who makes a comment is identifiable by IP code;
3. no anonymous comments are possible;
4. there is an unbiased team of moderators who make moderation decisions by consent;
5. common Internet blog protocols on acceptable vocabulary and conduct are enforced.

I wish you good luck in acting on your idea by establishing a suitable framework for further, culturally acceptable exchange of thoughts and opinions. See More

  Dear UOG Admin, take note. This is a person you permit to run loose on your campus courtesy of your payroll and our tax dollars.
