I have posted on this forum for 2 years and running each and every day. I post what I play personally each and everyday in the hopes that it helps others and also b/c I take something from this site from what you post and therefore want to contribute back to the forum. I had always posted my record but after a while, it was being noticed by others and scrutinized, which is fine as I post on other sites where it is documented as well as I have friends who own other sites that asked me to post. Covers has always been my first home and favorite place to post.
The racial comments had been going on for several months after the college basketball season. Covers decided to do something about it finally as it simply not right for a poster to post, then racial comments to come in immediately after a person wins or loses. Why even post? Sure once, twice or trice is fine, but to post for 2 years running and to have such racial comments (all racial comments deleted) but you are welcome to contact Gamehunter or others or even if you had came to the penalty box you might have heard about Phillycapper, who made reference to Curry, Brown shit, or others. I personally don't want to give any more examples. It was sickening the amount of hatred on this site.
On top of all this, I let it slide every day for countless months.
Then, when someone has officially contacted my professor (Albeee), yes my professor did receive something who is the chair of my basic sciences and I did get called in this morning for this, that was my last straw.
Racist comments and hatred, fine, that's something I can deal with and just b/c some child posts behind a computer, I don't care. But, this is too far and I'm sure you understand.
This is for fun, I've put up with this garbage for months upon months and then win or lose, all threads were deleted and things calmed down.
I was able to post, and go about my business.
However, this has gone too far and what guarantee do I have that this guy will not email other professors, next my family and what not?
He has been stalking me for 6 months running - 6 months, who is going to provide that liability for me?
Imagine if you are working in a full time job. You want me to make a parallel - I will. I want someone to come to your job if you work full time and sabotage things with your boss b/c you post on covers or go to your school, as I'm in medical law here in Georgia and attempt to sabotage it. I informed my chair that it was a practical joke done online and he was cool with it as I am in good standing here at the University. But, the fact that it is on the back of his head unnerves me and infuriates me.
This is my final post at covers as I might post elsewhere, but here, yes, my final post.
I've put up with this long enough and by no means does someone need to be whooping doll for others on this forum only to "ignore" it everyday. I have been longer putting up with bashers on a day to day basis than any other poster. I'll say it again, I have been here longer putting up with day-day to day bashers than anyone else.
It is easy for someone to say that just "ignore" them as either they do not post on a regular basis or they do not check their threads after a winning and losing day. Eventually it eats at you and you think to yourself, why the hell am I doing this again? Do I really need this? Why post here when there are other options that are far less stress free elsewhere.
It is similar to spending time and busting your tail for a patient only to have the patient criticize the quality of care - free quality of care - that you give them. I don't need this. I don't need the racial comments and I don't need some lunatic contacting my professors via covers. You want me to overlook and ignore this? You are an idiot if you do. Plain and simple, I cannot overlook and ignore this. I mentioned where I went to grad school in a thread where I mentioned that one of the guys in the slam dunk contest was a good friend of mine as I was a mascot on campus.
I cannot explain my feelings and the situation better as this is my final post on covers. Not final post on forums, just on covers. See Covers is the largest and frankly the best forum on the internet. However, being so large, unfortunately has consequences and that means lunatics that research your background which is exactly why I was mad at Stuckey who tried personal information of mine to release. Believe me or not, this is the truth, and this is why that guy infuriated me and Gamehunter was well aware of this and understood what was being done was wrong. Trying to find out my AIM, my address, phone number, ridiculous. This is why I took down my personal information to begin with on my profile.
