that boing boing thing

[splashchampion]

Boing Boing really, really stinks.

The We Are Just A Blog (WAJAB) defense is weak sauce for sure. BB is a major media outlet, valued at over $100 million. It's editors are Anti-Christian, Anti-Arab. They actually conduct and encourage religious hate speech.

Their agenda is quite political as well. Their moderators are abusive and they practice selective censorship.

My mother is, in fact, a big media company. And my papa was a rodeo.

This chick looks like a geek and it turns me on so much!!

[michaelthepiggybutt]

Did BB ban you because you talked about sex?

[jubuntu]

way cuter than xeni.

boingboing should practice what they preach.

VB, I'd like to have that T-shirt. Greetings from Hiram in the Netherlands.

Super Spoiler for people who can't handle 8 minute videos: Violet Blue was unpublished from Boing Boing, they refuse to explain themselves and handled the situation shittily.

your beautiful

[electrasteph]

Wow, I could have just watched this video instead of spending a day reading the whole metafilter thread. But I am hooked on metafilter now, so that's good.

[marthaclayton]

wow, still boring, who cares....

[PleaseMissKatherine]

VB, you gave have the awesome!!!

This was great, though I might have to listen to it again(oh darn ;-) since it all went by so fast.

And I don't think that you're attention whoring. Everything that I have seen, read, or heard from you on this issue has seemed more then warranted given the nature of the attack. If you'd just accepted it and said nothing the same haters that are slamming you for defending yourself would have used your silence as an admission of guilt.

Be mighty, Beautiful.

Now you rank higher on google than the other, more famous violet blue.

I'd never heard of you until this debacle.

[techyum]

@ batcakes - no. I actually have no idea why I was 'unpublished'. if you have evidence to back your claim, please present it here. otherwise, it's just a baseless, unsubstantiated attack. if you know something I don't, please share your information with the rest of us. and no, I don't like being attacked maliciously by former friends, especially those with big media company platform to do it with.

@techyum

According to the "internet" she was unpublished from Boingboing because she burned and injured a woman at a Maker Faire and never took any responibility for it, she also sued a broke pornstar and threatened to ruin her financially for using the name Violet Blue (even though the pornstar used it up to a year before she did).

Again, according to the "internet" she was also recently fired from her writing gig at the SF Chronicle for pissing someone off. This chick is apparently a hack.

[techyum]

@arcadeplus Please share any links to the information you've supplied. We need these.

BoingBoing re-published every single post. The woman at Maker Faire was burned from melted plastic set on fire by the man running the flame blaster, and blown through the air by the wind and the machine that Mark Pauline was running (Hovercraft); he refused to stop when the Fire Department arrived.

All online: I ran the Running Machine, no fire. My first published work was in 1998. I quit The Chronicle.

[batcakes]

Oh, admit it Violet, you love it.

You love the attention. And I am sure you know exactly why you were unpublished.

[djinn1973]

Wow...

[Techn0G1rl]

Best. Meta-Video-Reenactmen. Ever.

[dllacina]

omg. You need to do video digests of all metafilter internet drama comments from now on.

I still can't believe this whole thing hasn't had any explanation or legitimate commentary from BB (let alone a real apology).
