Is there some particular reason why changing your identity is more palatable than blocking these people from seeing your questions and answers? How many times does a man have to be abusive of you before you're willing to say NO MORE!Why are feminists willing to forfeit their identities to abusive men, by passively changing their nicknames?
I know you mean me - so I'll go ahead and say it. I don't think it's a man who's doing this. I am starting to believe that it is a woman, possibly even one of our top contributors. Some of them I talk to, I actually e-mail back and forth - so I know some are great women.
I wish that, whoever this person was, he/she would be %26quot;man enough%26quot; - pun intended - to just write me an e-mail and tell me how I have offended her/him. The only man who ever %26quot;offended%26quot; me was the Jackal - but that doesn't make me feel special, as he offends lots of people - so I doubt he's taking the time to report me. I also doubt he can. Either way - I had my b*tch fest with him - we both got reported and I moved on. I don't hold grudges.
Thanks for sticking up for me - I truly appreciate it.

I cannot speak for the feminists here, but the only reason why I change my nicknames is just for something different.
The only thing that I've ever changed(for someone) was an avatar that bothered a male poster here, and it was no big deal. Nothing would've been achieved if I'd argued with him over it.
Sometimes you have to know when it's worth it, there's no point locking horns with someone and making them see your point of view if they have their own ideas and thoughts that are deeply entrenched, so you know that it's not worth the angst.Why are feminists willing to forfeit their identities to abusive men, by passively changing their nicknames?
People,
How many times should a human being choose or be excused to abuse another? Who do these excuses REALLY benefit?Why are feminists willing to forfeit their identities to abusive men, by passively changing their nicknames?
I propose that they hold a %26quot;take back our avatars%26quot; candlelight vigil and march.Why are feminists willing to forfeit their identities to abusive men, by passively changing their nicknames?
I disagree with the choice of words in your question. Changing a nickname is not forfeiting one's identity. I dare say, few intelligent users here share much of their true identity in this forum anyway.
The blocking tool has been rendered useless by a couple of computer savvy hackers who have the ability to get around it.
Confronting abusive online behavior often brings on more abuse.
Changing identities/nicknames may or may not prove be effective. The only way to truly end the abuse is to leave and never come back. I have not seen anything happen here that was severe enough to convince me that avoiding the discussion altogether was preferable to being more selective in which questions I choose to answer.Why are feminists willing to forfeit their identities to abusive men, by passively changing their nicknames?
Uh? Most of the weirdos on this forum are STALKERS and harassers. It doesn't matter whether or not you block them from seeing your Q%26amp;A. They have no jobs and so will continue to devote their worthless lives to pissing people off - being %26quot;abusive%26quot; - on this website.Why are feminists willing to forfeit their identities to abusive men, by passively changing their nicknames?
Despite non stop attacks, insults, harassment, emails, and badgering I refuse to cower. Abusive men are just bullies and I learned to deal with them long ago. My father taught me well just to stand up to them. He by the way was an avid believer in equality and feminism.Why are feminists willing to forfeit their identities to abusive men, by passively changing their nicknames?
