eIreland, a serious moment Please.

Donovan Thomas
Remember me? Some of you do. We’ve served together, lol’d together. Some of us have built parts of this government, military and culture together. Some of us still stay in touch in various forums and even in email. Even if you don’t see me, you probably see my articles around once in a while… Yeah, I left the Isle and can’t let go and I’ve gotten a bit lulzy lately after meeting all the wickets I set for myself. But let’s talk seriously for a minute…
No lulz right now
I just turned, or depending upon your measure, am about to turn six e-months old. In that time I have delved into politics, defence and even tabloid journalism. I’ve attacked, supported, fought and defended various presidents. I’ve always (even now in my role as a Theocrat) been an independent thinker.
I can understand the more… fringe elements of e-world. Want to lead a revolution? Cool… You want to do it from a Communist Perspective? Cheers… Capitalist? Cool, tough road though…
You want to go to war? Mad fun… let’s do it.
Eden? Rock on… Phoenix? Good on you… Indy? Cool too. Start a new one? Nice…
You want to disrespect women and demean them? GTFO.
You want to say that one RL ethnic group is lesser than yours? GTFO.
You want to discriminate against any RL group, gender, race, creed or belief? GTFO
Just the straight dope
Today apparently Manni_reborn (i.e. Mannimarco/Paulie Walnuts/Elusmon, all banned) and or others put forth an article satirizing the fictitious “rape” of the current CP of eIreland Edana Savage. This is not their first time. A similar group of adolescent boys did the same thing to another person in eIreland about five months ago. It was equally sickening. Though I will not bring forth the alleged names from the last offense or the collective political party involved, if you have been around long enough you will remember me being rather angry about it.
If you were around back then and not under the hot light, or even if you were then and are not now, you should be angry.
Not all of us are RL indigenous Irish. I’m not. I’m a first generation American of Irish decent. None of that matters… What matters is this…
What’s important
I know I have already went beyond the Too Long Didn’t Read limits of many. But I hope a few of you stuck around. When I was a boy, I asked my mother if I was going to be “big” like my dad. She said “Yes” (I’m 6’2” and weigh about 220”)
I asked her why, so I can be in charge like Daddy? She said “No. Not to be in charge. To protect.”
I asked her what that meant and she said “You’ll be big like all the Irishmen in our family are. You’ll be big like all the men who have gone before you. Not to put your boot on the neck of the smaller men, but to lift them up. To protect them. You’ll be big so the women and children around you have nothing to fear. You’ll be big so that men with dark souls cant hurt those who cant yet help themselves. Big men like you were born to take care of the small… But you’ll never use your size to hurt, understand boy?”
Ok, I’ve probably embellished the dialogue a little, but the message is the same.
The message
eIreland, this is a game. But not a God-D@mned thing about discussing, theorizing or pretending to sexually assault, control or demean another human being is okay.
What should you do? I’m not sure. I know that I’m not interested at all in speaking to Manni, PP, or any other single person who continues the kind of bullsh!t that they support…
What will you do?
Will you ask admin to permaban Manni et al? I think you should… I think you should report them personally. And then I think you should post “Manni et al GTFO” in the comments…
Had enough? I have….
“Manni et al GTFO”

Manni et al GTFO
eIreland's always had this problem (just ask Grainne :/), I never understood what was wrong with you people. 😛
...
Oh, snap. I just said "you people."
Oh well. 😛
Manni et al GTFO
“Manni et al GTFO”
They have abuse the decency of this game. It has hurt people. And that is not funny.
GTFO Manni
Manni et al GTFO
Manni et al GTFO!
😘 Love you, DT. Thank you.
“Manni et al GTFO”
“Manni et al GTFO”
woah woah woah why the f*ck was my name mentioned? I had nothing to do with this, nor am I in ICF. Jeez
Manni et al GTFO
GC, Fixed and explained to you in IRC.
manni et al GTFO
Get this crap off my shoe, Manni, PP (shame on the RL name btw). Be gone!
G T F O !
It's the same people who did it to Grainne. They're probably extremely sexually frustrated IRL (likely virgins) and they think it's funny to be a blatant asshole.
its a shame how history repeats itself. Poor fools I pity them more than anything.
Gtfo manni. J/k
LOL
Manni et al GTFO
I was not around for the other time but I would very much like if
Manni et al would GTFO.
Voted
Manni et al GTFO
I remember DT. How those asses went after Grainne.
Respect bro.
All idiots without any sense of decency, GTFO!
Manni et al, you're one sick sob.
Well said, DT.
manni et al GTFO
I've never said anything against anyone before.
Manni, Padraig_Pearse, and all you noble *ecks
Get the FFFF out of here.
And don't come back.
Please.
Edana, I stand ready to shoot "perv" stamps on command.
We're here for you Edana.
You're a good man, DT.
Yesterday i never lold so hard in my life...
Manni et al GTFO.
This is wrong, and Ireland shouldn't rest until it cleans all the sick scum like you off our beloved country.
Manni et al GTFO
Yeah seriously Manni, GTFO.
Edana's pinning this one on me and feck knows why, so **** off.
Manni et al GTFO
Agreed old friend
Well said Donovan Thomas! And this is even worse than what happened 5 months ago (Is it really 5 months already?).
Manni should go to hell, where he belongs!
They're just little pansey boys.
Instead of actually formuating arguments with support and evidence (however ill-constructed) they resort to lame, base, vapid attempts at humor that would appeal only to the "people" with vile humor and no testes (much like themselves).

Manni et al (Dylanb): Not only is the subject matter disgustingly immature, it's extremely inconsiderate. You don't know what anyone has been through in RL concerning sexual assaults or rapes or anything of that kind.
Speaking from personal experience,(yes, I've been attacked by a sexual predator and, thankfully, escaped lightly scathed) it's not a laughing matter.

Great article, DT.
The Princess hopes they're all banished.

It's not just a problem in eIreland. It's a basic internet problem, these a-holes are saying the sort of things they can't do in real life, but apparently wish they could. Keyboard courage, or in this case, keyboard misogyny. It's pervasive in IRC and many forums where the eRep admins can't get to them. I hope the admins not only ban this kid and blacklist his IP address, I hope they take him behind the shed and beat the crap out of him.
Manni et al GTFO
they should be reported and banned, not the least bit funny, idiots...
Manni et all GTFO!!!
Hehe you clearly dont know Manni Donovan, writing this article is exactly what he wanted you to do...all the attention is on him now!
*rollseyes*

Manni et al GTFO
Ban Manni & all the rest that were involved
Manni et al GTFO
Manni et al gtfo. Please.
Manni GTFO. And seek professional help, dude. Seriously.
I’m 6’2” and weigh about 220
@Irish Princess
Cool story sis.
Manni et al GTFO
Seriously, bad form there, especially if you're indeed a repeat offender.
Agreed with Bryan O Shea. Just ignore, believe me works on IRC and MSN will work in eRep simple physcology.
oh lolz
What I'm wondering is why he has not been permanently banned after that article?
"Manni et al GTFO."
Apparently, the admins must not know how to ban IPs or something, because the pathetic worms like Manni (who simply creates new accounts to be a d*** on) or even Padraig_Pearse (who's just a low-level "I piss you off to get attention!" troll) are still around, and likely will be for some time.
It's one thing to ignore standard trolling, but when someone is demented and depraved enough to write out a fictional rape of a person, that's far beyond 'crossing the line'. Rape is one of the things I hate most in this world. It shows the lowest of lows, and goes against any tiny notion of humanity. For someone like Manni to write out a fictional rape story like the mean-spirited waste of life that he is, is beyond trolling. It's sick, depraved, and way too far.
I'm American-Irish, and I couldn't agree more with your mom, DT. There will always be pathetic filth who try to prey on others, and the world needs men with honor to put them down when possible.
Manni, GTFO. PP, for even joking about it, GTFO. I want to see the admins take some REAL action against these immature, honor-less douchebags...
"immature, honor-less douchebags..." Lol'd at ironicness
Welcome back. I'm starting to get tired of scumbags like manni and PP. Manni et al GTFO.
