Bloggers Against Child Abuse

Update on Blogshares

I found an old email from last month. Someone searched Blogshares Forum archives and found proof of corruption by Blogshares Administrators.

This is a game people pay to play but the Administrators and their friends take advantage of BUGS that they probably put in the game in the first place.

HOLY COW.

Here is a link to the blog that first broke the story.

and here is another ex blogshares player who also blogged the story.

September 25, 2007 = Here is an interesting development. One of the players at Blogshares who championed a disabled player has been banned for her actions. She broke no rules and their "BSEC" cops have not charged her with anything. They banned her in retaliation for speaking out against the corruption and racism practiced there.

Don't List My Blog on Blogshares.

I have several disabled friends. 3 of them are guys back from Iraq. Jim lost his left foot, Ronnie lost both. Bob's got a plastic kind of plate in his head where his skull should be. He's in a wheelchair. He needs a lot of help. His wife is there for him 24-7. Angela is the best name she could have been Christened with. She is an angel. God Bless them all.

I called them up this morning. I wanted to know if any of them were playing Blogshares. No body ever heard of it. I'm glad. That means there are 3 disabled veterans Blogshares gamers can't make fun of.

I checked, and my blog is listed there. I don't want my blog listed on Blogshares. I have seen for myself that Blogshares allows cruel inappropriate comments and attacks on disabled players.

As a matter of principle that should not be allowed. A person's disability should not be thrown in his face. It should not be ridiculed as a "disability card." It should not be minimized or marginalized as an "excuse."

Drunk Teenagers

Bobby has been arrested for drunk driving. His father has left for the station to bring him home. The police have impounded their car. Insanity.

My son Jerry was picked up for underage drinking last year. Why do our kids drink? I don't drink. My wife doesn't drink. And I don't think Bobby's dad drinks. We've been neighbors for 14 years, and I've never seen him with even a beer in his hand.

I lost good money in the market.

I lost thousands yesterday. It's money I never thought about, but I am thinking about it now. I am thinking about the things it won't be buying. We won't be going to Corpus after all. College tuition for Jerry was a no-brainer. Now I have to worry about it again.

Everybody in bed.

The dogs are asleep with the kids, and Jan is snoring on the couch. I wonder if there's any good porn out there.

P.S. If my wife is reading this. That's a joke, honey!
