Post Executive Board Posted: Mon Jan 15, 2007 8:37 pm
Guest
I recieved an e-mail today from Cary Epstein concerning the pornographic material being posted on this website. "Plastered all over it" was the term he used. While I've noticed some hackers very similar to the ones that inundated Cary's former lifeguard Forum posting XXX material, I also noticed the objectional material was quickly delated by the administrator.
What I find odd is that Cary is not officially registered on this site as a member yet he was very quickly privy to what was posted. Are the Executive Board members registered under alias's here? Wasn't that something they took great offense to under the former Forum, when Bob Thompson infiltrated?
Does anyone out there know why none of the current Executive Board members have chosen to register under their own names? I sent an e-mail to our president Bob Lenti prior to the thanksgiving holiday when this freeJBLC site first opened. I questioned his position on "Freedom of Speech" concerning the website, as he has constantly defended the material presented in the Bucket & Bouy by it's editor Roy Lester as freedom of speech, even though he doesn't have to agree with it himself.
He was off to Florida for the holiday, but said "He'd get back to me". It's been two months and I'm still waiting for a response, Will he be there Wednesday night?

There are 2 topics posted right now under miscellaneous that are porn related. they were posted early this morning and have yet to be deleted. Cary is trying to get his website recognized by USLA and our beach USLA certified. I don't think they would be too happy to see posts that read "content deleted by admin." It sucks that admin has to deal with this crap.

There's a difference between being registered under a different name and being banned from a site and re-registering under an alias. 2 totally different scenarios that cannot be compared (regardless of how I feel about the banning, which is another story).

Regarding free speech and the forums. Can you not agree that when people start to threaten lawsuits against others, based on what is posted on a privately managed website, its time for the site to come down (or be reworked)? Why should Cary, as a site admin/owner have to be put in the middle of a lawsuit, or a threatened suit between 2 or more people like that? And if anyone tries to deny that Cary would be dragged into a suit, try it somewhere else. People will sue anyone, and drag anyone into anything as a witness.

Brad;
Do you really feel this site is being overwhelmed by pornography? I realize Cary abandoned his old site and after 2 months it was plastered with over 200 pornographic websites, but all it takes is a daily look to clean off the riff-raff. The ability to keep the membership informed 24/7 far outweighs a few miscreants who dislike discussing the issues.
Regards; James Rooney

ps- Does it take that much honesty to register as yourself, and post your name to your views? I realize how much work Cary does, but what about the rest of us lifeguards? Last edited by Guest on Thu Jan 18, 2007 10:16 am, edited 1 time in total.

Um, yeah. I'm sitting here, I'm pretty sure I'm real. I can walk, and talk, and breathe, all of that good stuff.
Did I say it's "being overwhelmed by pornography?" No. Cary chose not to run a forum anymore. Maybe you should have started your own and taken the porn off of it everyday. Who would want to deal with that? Not me. Apparently not you either.
It doesn't take much honesty. I'm registered under my name. A lot of people aren't. Its a personal choice. "What about the rest of us lifeguards??" I don't know, what about us??

FYI - I will not respond to anymore of your posts on this topic. You can bait me all you want.
