Apparently the phrase "Women are nature's punching bag." is acceptable to the LiveJournal Abuse team.

I'm far from pro-censorship, but I think I would draw the line at that one personally...

What a truly horrible person. Urgh.
Have you talked to the community about getting him barred?

Yes he was violating the TOS:

"TERMINATION
You agree that LiveJournal.com, in its sole discretion, may terminate your password, journal, or account, and remove and discard any content within the Service
[...] if LiveJournal.com believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of the TOS."


And further down in the TOS:

"You agree to NOT use the Service to:
[...]

This may include, but is not limited to, providing instructions on how to assemble bombs, grenades and other weapons or incendiary devices;[...]"


The comment said "Women are nature's punchbag". That is clearly promoting physical harm and injury against a group.

I figured if the community moderator is active, they can hardly miss that lot... and if they're not, they probably won't do anything anyway.

*TOTALLY* out of context, I can understand the comment. Between childbirth, my monthly visitor, and the way some men treat women, I do feel like a punching bag.

HOWEVER. In context of the conversation, the guy should be de-balled. What a prick.

"It is directed at a specific individual"

Ye-es...a specific individual that makes up half the world's population. Last time I checked the world's population consisted of more than two...

They are being daft. Although he'll probably violate the terms of service enough that they'll bother at some point in the near future, unless he loses the power of speech type.
