The moderators are like the police...they can't enforce rules when they don't know they were broken. If Ziggy was being harrassed and didn't let the moderators know, then what could be done needed to be done on Ziggy's side. I don't remember anything being posted on a thread (I could well be mistaken...I don't read everything) so if it was "behind the scenes," then it was Ziggy's choice whether to do anything or not. Unfortunately a lot of us grew up with the notion that complaining about a bully was being a snitch or a squealer or a whiner. "Toughen up, kid, it's good for you, gets your ready for life" was the rule in a lot of schools and homes. Still is. Not a good rule. Just a rule. But not everyone was born with a thick skin. This notion of attacking the victim is one that doesn't hold well with me. It's a defense lawyer's trick... a particularly nasty way of defending monsters: validate perpetrator because somehow because the victim isn't deserving of justice, somehow the victim caused the crime. Nonsense. Ziggy didn't cause the problem. The piece of lint that decided to harrass Ziggy is the problem. There are things Ziggy could have done. There are things I might have done differently than Ziggy. But no one but Ziggy is Ziggy, and we don't know what was best done in this particular case. And I don't think compassion needs to be held back for a chosen few. It's a sad world we live in, but we all have the ability to make someone's day a little better. Ziggy did that with lively and fun graphics. To lose those is a loss to this community. Why don't I have the right to feel sad at not having those to look forward to? Nope, I'm not convinced compassion is a waste of time. And if you don't like it, too bad, too sad...no one can tell me what to feel anymore than I can persuade anyone to have feelings.
