So I got the following comment on one of my Mermaid Parade pictures on Flickr:
"That butch dyke should be forced to undergo intensive daily psychiatric therapy and medication over the course of at least a year for her public display of sick and debauched perversion."
I blocked the person but should I report them? This seems way over the top wrong to me, it's super offensive and relatively violent so I should give Flickr a heads up, right? Unless someone thought it was sarcastic and funny...hell, it might even be the woman in the photo, I didn't click through to the person's stream. I should do that. But if it isn't do I report?
Opinions, please.

Crazy is all around us. World full of not normal. I'd report it but lend no energy to it at all. Some like that is just looking for hatred back. Sad.
ReplyDeleteFor the record I did click through to the person's profile. It's a man and he's not in any way connected to the parade and, not for nothing, a lot of his pictures are terrible. But there's nothing offensive about that last part.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely report it. Why do people spend their energy doing things like that? Sigh. I just don't understand people sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI did report it, which was surprisingly tricky to do actually. Now I'm second-guessing, in that the photo in question is of a topless participant in the parade and I'm wondering if they're going to discipline me as well. I think they're cooler and smarter and more savvy than that but I guess we'll see.
ReplyDeleteSo, I high-tailed it to your flickr as soon as I saw the post this morning and found what I was sure was the photo (before you even mentioned the topless part), and, honestly, when I saw it, the quote was wiped from my mind because all I could think was, "Man, I wish I had tits that nice."
ReplyDeleteWhich is probably what he was thinking, too.
I would have told you to report it. Flickr can decide whether to follow up or not.
ReplyDeleteok. i"m late to the party as usual, but I agree with The Coven. Report. Brush Brush. Move On. And we all want nicer tits. so good on that chick.
ReplyDeletepeople are nuttier than squirrel poo right now. bless it and let it go. someone at flicker is just WAITING to go all Chris Brown on somebody. You just gave them a reason for the season sister!!!
MUAH!
Report it. Sounds like his wife/girlfriend left him for a woman and he is having some feelings about it..
ReplyDeleteChrome, I don't think we're talking about the same pic. The one he commented on is titled "Well." The woman is not especially well endowed, though her breasts are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI've reported it and a nice guy named Joe has sent me a note saying they'll look into it and thanks for giving them the heads up. So that's that. I'll just wait and see. He's been blocked from my stuff so he's not going to bother me anymore at least.
