Not all comments need to be published to create a "fair and balanced discussion." Period.<br /><br />This is Georgette's space. She SHOULD dictate what does or does not get published. The kinds of comments she permits goes toward the overall feel of her blog, and if it's overrun by a$$holes, it's her fault:<br /><br />http://dashes.com/anil/2011/07/if-your-websites-full-of-assholes-its-your-fault.html<br /><br />Quoting from the site:<br /><i>You should have community policies about what is and isn't acceptable behavior. Your community policy should be short, written in plain language, easily accessible, and phrased in flexible terms so people aren't trying to nitpick the details of the rules when they break them. And then back them up with significant consequences when people break them: Either temporary or permanent bans on participation.</i><br /><br />I encourage you to create a very clear and public policy on comments. Good for you, Georgette.jiujiubjj.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12666336021631856083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-85555727656224528412013-07-03T23:10:09.825-05:002013-07-03T23:10:09.825-05:00It makes me happy that you have the energy to stan...It makes me happy that you have the energy to stand up the the bullies. Thanks for that. I appreciate the consideration you put into your choice to put out information about this guy. He may well be working to be a trustworthy leader, but its reasonable that people learning under him be able to make an informed assessment of who they're learning under. <br /><br />I'm also thankful that the Machado family seems to be establishing expectations for decent behavior from the community. BJJ does a lot to help people control themselves and their own circumstances; we shouldn't accept that we have to also allow people into the community who want to control and exploit others. That personality trait should be opposed. <br /><br />To the bullies: I know you are better people than you appear now.

"You can't say anything about this guy's rape because you cheated on your husband!"<br /><br />Thats a load of crap, obviously. <br /><br />I'm glad you and your husband have a good relationship. I hope something some jackass says on the internet doesn't hurt it.

It is not how the Machados would handle this and we expect our supporters to follow our lead. Despite how things were handled we have chosen to see the bright side which is Georgette is actively trying to make sure we all have safe academies to train in. Her way of getting people to take a stance, and I think most will agree, isn't the best route to take but at least she is trying to be proactive. So if the Machados can bury this and move on than we ask that you all do the same!

Her intentions were good despite how things were handled and we have to look at the bright side..a stance has been taken in regards to sex offenders by the Machados! Please do not attack Georgette for wanting safer mat places for people to train. If the Machado's can move on than we ask that our supporters move on as well! It's the Machado Way! <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01728862815243072106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-40851490038844753002013-07-03T01:51:00.759-05:002013-07-03T01:51:00.759-05:00Don;t let them get to youDon;t let them get to youMrKnowItAllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00377060697435102511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-82628956711567022662013-07-03T01:50:20.914-05:002013-07-03T01:50:20.914-05:00Don't let this nonsense get to youDon't let this nonsense get to youMrKnowItAllhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00377060697435102511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30740798.post-39560570662207987162013-07-03T00:16:00.792-05:002013-07-03T00:16:00.792-05:00All these comments are coming from someone who has...All these comments are coming from someone who has doubled down so hard on what they believe that you are now an "appropriate target" for harassment. Perhaps their beliefs relate to LI or the other people who do not belong in the sport. Perhaps not. <br /><br />The details of their beliefs don't matter much. What does is that they should know that this is not acceptable behavior or even productive behavior.<br /><br />I'm angry and sad that you're receiving this treatment and really, really wish that it doesn't continue or get worse. <br /><br />You have my support and several friends at Bloody Elbow, where I write. You have the support of your friends and your family. You have the support of your husband.<br /><br />Kick butt with that knowledge, G.
