Its pretty simple but the evidence has been presented here. This poll will run for the typical 7 day period for any poll. Please make you vote heard.

Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

I'm currently undergoing a background check for a job requiring a national security clearance. I am so fucking glad I didn't go anywhere near that link.

I have to vote to ban.

I usually push for mercy in banning cases. But this is beyond unacceptable. Show him the door, contact an authority figure about what he did here, and then purge him like we did RayCav.

Think we can arrange that, My Lady?


That was in my PM box.

I heartily second it. Banning is not enough. We need to report him to the appropriate legal authorities.

Did the link itself directly lead to Child pornography, or just to the FBI search list? FOr the former, absolutely, but if it is the latter, which is what I understood it to be, then I am not certain we have grounds to drag this into law enforcement.
I don't want to descend to his level of "intentionally fucking up someone's life" without a clear cut case that his actions constitute criminal acts.

Not to jump anyone's shit or turn this into a lynch mob, but I would be interested in the reasoning behind the vote for mercy that was cast. If they don't want to post it in this thread, could you PM it to me? I am simply interested in the contrary point of view here.

It's not our right nor place, IMO, to make a determination about whether or not he committed a crime. You're saying "Intentionally fucking up someone's life" here--that would only take place if he had committed a crime. If he has committed a crime and you refuse to report it, you are yourself committing a crime and this post by itself could be cause for charges to be pressed against you by the government, I hope you realize. The only sane thing for us to do is report it to the appropriate authorities, and basically let the FBI make a determination on whether or not charges should be pressed. We have no right or duty to take that decision into our own hands, and it would in fact be illegal for us to do so.

I strongly recommend the appropriate material be turned over to them immediately without further delay, and I can't understand why anyone would oppose that measure--if you think a crime may have been committed, you report everything you know, and let the authorities make a determination on whether or not to pursue the individual in question. Why shouldn't you?

Before it goes anywhere and even though I have no power to enforce it let me state bluntly ANY and ALL discussion needs to be in that thread. Please confine this thread to notice of voting.
