I created a new group, inspired by a group called "Rage and Violence Against Conservatives."  (As a general rule, real liberals do not engage in violence. Some do, but only defensively when all other options seem unavailable.)  This new group, "Rage and Violence Against Liberals," ( http://rageandviolenceagainstliberals.groups.vox.com/ )  is for the incense burning, tree-hugging, peace-nic antiwar liberals with flowers in their hair and home-made tie-die clothes that reflect the rainbow of their love for the Earth and its inhabitants.  You really don't need to burn incense, hug trees, or wear flowers in your hair and tie-die clothes to join this group, or to be a liberal.

To prevent it from being hijacked by right-wing extremists and others that hate liberals, or at least, hate most of their views, I set it as public, but by invitation only.  The group is intended to provide members with a place where they can explain how they are attacked. That's not the only reason to post to this group. There are other topics which might be of interest to members (So far, I am the only member. Boo-hoo.). Among them, anything about the various groups that are misunderstood, attacked, defamed, oppressed, etc. and various issues affecting them. (Issues that are adopted, fought for by liberal groups.)

If you are a liberal and have been subjected to maltreatment, including harassment, stalking by trolls that hate you, attempts to defame your character as a liberal, false accusations, or violence attacks, this group is a good place to document your experiences. It is also a place where you can document reports of other liberals experiences.

Please contact me if you wish to join this group. Let me know if you have any trouble accessing the page. I don't know if I must invite everybody or if you can find a link on the group page to request membership.  I thought of emailing an announcement to most people on my friends list that I thought might be interested, but I don't want to spam anybody.

This morning I had prematurely joined a group which appears to have originally been created to unite all the bloggers that have blocked Ken from their blog.  Now, I am a bona fide member of that group.  Below are my reasons for deciding that Ken has abused his privilege to post on my blog:

Ken attempted to access the blog of a fellow blogger who is also my friend.  When Ken realized that this person's blog is private, thus inaccessible to uninvited visitors, he sent my friend an offensive email.  I considered his actions and the content of that message to be insulting and a form of harassment.

Within the comments section of my Banning Policy post Ken harassed and insulted somebody else.  He clearly ignored the warning that I gave him in the Banning Policy post.

Ken also violated  Vox's Terms of Service:

7. CONTENT AND CONDUCT RULES AND OBLIGATIONS

Should Content be found or reported to be in violation with, but not limited to, the following terms, it will be in Six Apart's sole discretion as to what action should be taken.

You agree that you will not:

(a) upload, post, transmit or otherwise make available any Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortuous, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy (up to, but not excluding any address, email, phone number, or any other contact information without the written consent of the owner of such information), hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable.

Not only have I seen evidence that Ken violated some, or all of the terms which are in bold and underlined text on my blog and in two private messages (One sent to me, the other sent to another recipient), I have also noticed a pattern of such abuse on several blogs.  This is more reason why I blocked Ken a short while ago.

I decided to join the group I Blocked Another VOX ***Hole, which appeared to have been originally created as a group to unite the VOX members that have, or will block Ken. I discovered this link at the blog, Here Be Trolls and in the first post that was made to profile an obviously notorious troll, Ken (a.k.a., ken863). I am not at all surprised to see that Ken was the first troll profiled there. I am, however, shocked to see that he has still managed to avoid getting banned by VOX and subsequently losing his blog and account, considering the apparently vast number of VOX TOS that he has committed.

It is my opinion, he should bow to the people that have not complained to VOX about his chronic and frequent abuse of basic rights to free speech and expression.
