When Former Good Helpers Go Bad

 


Craigslist, Flag Forum -
At what point do we as helpers/Peanuts stop ignoring this person, and start being proactive in protecting the craigslist community from the abuse this handle dishes out on a daily basis. 

Most of us long term helpers just ignore that handle, "do not engage or answer" is the philosophy of many of us Peanuts.  History has proven that if you engage, this handle will just lite into you with a vengeance while justifying their attack. It is your basic, "I know you are, but what am I." type of reply mainly. Strawman, and gaslighting is the norm for this handle. Again, many of us just do not engage as it seems to accomplish nothing, and is not preventing or compensating for the actions of this handle. 

While most of the hateful things this handle says are akin to childish school yard behavior, this time it appears this handle has crossed the line into what very well may be criminal behavior. 

The above screenshot is accompanied by this copy/paste with URL of the offending comment this handle made in reply to someone engaging them in the flag help forum. Please note that this handle does not only act this way in the flag help forum, but in the feedback forum, and help forum of craigslist. 

That would be my Fan Club! HelpfulHedda > 

You are welcome to masturbate in public but ... funny? Not.

While my opinion is that this is illegal, here is what the internet has to say: 

Encouraging the act: Encouraging someone to commit an illegal act, such as public masturbation, could lead to you being charged with a crime, potentially including conspiracy or solicitation.

Potential legal consequences: Depending on the jurisdiction, you could face misdemeanor or felony charges, fines, and/or jail time.

Again, at what point do we stop ignoring this...
