You mad? :3

I am currently being bullied by Bear Creek Feline Center, they are attempting censor the fact I was trying to achieve reform for the betterment of the center as I was not listened to while I was there, as the old saying goes, money talks, I felt that pointing out the truth would achieve reform and I was correct. I was simply trying to make sure the center does not return to how it has been in the past.

My initial goal was to not harm the center, the animals, or reputation of the center or it's owner as stated by Jim (even if this did come as a side effect) it was in fact to make sure that things do not go to the dogs like they were the day of my departure from the center July 7, 2010. This was not a "Malicious attack", it was an attempted "wake up call". From what I have heard it has worked, but during my time at the center most if not all were fact, and anything else is either false information From Jim himself, or a simple mistake on my part such was the case involving the Legality of Billie Lambert's possession of a bobcat while "waiting on her license to be approved".

However any and all losses of donations from BCFC involving me compared to last year can simply be written off as I have ceased sending people to the center as I did during my time there, and his own choices of not giving as many tours. and lets note as such any losses before the date of May 8th, 2011 can not be connected to me as I posted the blog in question on this date. I wholly believe that the only people who visit this blog are me and people Jim has sent to it to help "stomp out the uglyness" which is misspelled, just for a note.

As a retired internet troll, if I wished to "maliciously attack" him I would be able to do a much better job.
Lets also note if I was wishing to ruin Bear Creek's "good name" I would have posted this blog a full year earlier. As stated in many other blogs I in my younger years was a troll a fact I am not entirely proud of but I do not attempt to hide it and while I still have the "skills" I have retired from such actions.

I will state that Jim has refused my multiple offers to speak of this in person to handle this properly, and that everything that he is claiming to sue me for, he actually did (or attempted to do) the very same thing, as seen on his blog posted  in January of 2010:

He is seen here using the Blogger Name "big cat rescue" which in the words of his own attorney "is construed as trade name infringement" and is "fraudulent use of their business identify and copyright materials" of course he was talking to me using those words but my point remains.

(If these Webpages go down I will gladly supply screenshots, and even saved .html files of them upon request)

This was a one among many things Jim requested his employees to do in order to "Help defeat Big Cat Rescue" in an email campaign to his "friends" among with other things, He even set up a (Denied) Sponsored Link Campaign with Google.  I submit that I learned these tactics from my then Male Role Model and as I have had no father in my life I am prone to learn from people I see as respectable, including their bad traits.

However, due to the fact I am currently involving the Authorities in the various harassing, and threatening "Anonymous" comments I for now have to refuse to remove such blogs. At least until the investigations are dealt with. I will remove these blogs after either after the investigations involving them are resolved or they are dismissed.

Have a nice day,
Stephen Swift

Note: Logs and copies of emails and images will be sent/forwarded at the request of any one wishing to inquire, I have logs dating back to 1/30/10.

 It has also been brought to my attention that Jim is still using my mother's name in relation to his website despite our requests to remove it. Why should I comply with his "orders" when he has refused ours.


I am still open to an in person discussion of the removal of such but as it has been refused before I am doubting such will occur.

Legal Note: As this is occurring and I am stating my opinion of such and my side in this post I believe this is not considered libel. All past posts involving BCFC are for archival purposes, and will remain until the Law Enforcement Agencies no longer need it to obtain the information they need from said comments. Removal of such would be classified as destruction of evidence. And as you stated I have ten days to play around with. I'll be fine waiting until the last moment for I do have a life to attend to other than your attempts at censorship of the truth, at least during the time I was at the center.

Oh and I denied the comment you tried to post because it contained personal information (my street address), if I were you I wouldn't attempt such again.

School Board Intrusion on Facebook Privacy

As I've been living with my grandmother I've been subjected to listen to horrendous "news" broadcasts that are supposedly fair and balanced but it's actually Bill O'reilly and the other nitwits overpowering someone with even a decent point of view to the contrary. As much as I'd love to complain about how Fair and Ballanced and Fox News is simply not true, I am more concerned with what I've been hearing on it lately. Apparently the gonvernment thinks that it's their duty to stop all the kids and puppies from killing themselves just because some people made fun of them. Now let me say up front as I'm listening to Andrew W.K.'s Party Hard, the people I align myself will know I am with them.

I heard that some people are wanting to put the duty of searching through Social Network sites for "cyber bullying" onto the teachers of American schools.
My only thought was "Who is the moron who thought this was a good idea?" It is not the duty of the teachers to sift through the drama and stupid status updates of the common teenager. I myself update my status so many times without even really realizing it. So this is itself is a full time job, which last I checked they already have one of those that they are horrendously underpaid for. (Even moreso since at least locally they are now being paid by how well their students do something else I don't agree with.) It's just simply not the duty of the American teacher to sit at a computer and look for potentially "suicidal meanings" in the status updates. Or bullying for that matter. Here's a tip if teachers begin monitoring status updates they'll just move to the Message feature that can only be seen by selected people, I really have a problem with the relative Privacy a public citizen expects to have online. Sure people shouldn't go blabbing their secrets or telling too much but I also believe that it's not the duty of teachers to dig for the information to prevent suicides, this is why there is the Suicide Hotlines, or in the case of bullying the report feature which tells the person that if they believe they are in bodily harm to call your local Police.

I honestly have a problem with teachers on Facebook in general at least as "friends" I don't believe that our teachers need to read through our tons of crap and have a "relationship" of any sort with the students other than professional, If you have a favorite teacher it's fine to talk to them during school or after class, but lets be honest, we rarely like our teachers that much. There are pages where you don't need to be "friends" with the person persay called Groups, open one of those for school related things but a 30-40 year old male being listed as a friend on a 16 year old girl's Facebook will throw up so many red flags We'd look like China in about an hour. I have one of my old teachers on my Facebook, but my case was different I was around this same teacher for a good 7 or so years and she is actually a pretty cool person, I'll admit it's kinda strange having her on there when the rest of the people are old friends from school but nonetheless I added her to keep up with her after I graduated.

99% of these kids threatening suicide are just attention whores. The other 1% who actually do it probably would have done it whether or not the bully said anything at all, when a person is dead set on believing the world is a horrible place and it's not worth living in, there is hardly anything you can do to stop them.

I believe that the power of the teacher, School Board, Board of Education, and what have you should not intrude into the relative privacy of social networking sites their "power" over the lives of the students should pertain only to the place where they are employed, the school, and the like. If someone is getting bullied on the school grounds by all means stop it but really, bullying is so high up on the internet under the guise of Anonymous even if you found out the people who were doing it it'd never stop a full force onslaught of a group dedicated to making people miserible. The fact of the matters are Anonymous simply does not forgive and does not forget, and whether or not you care to admit it, Anonymous is inside us all, it is the darkest part of your soul an will arise when your mind believes the time is right. Teachers have enough crap to put up with these little bastards during work, and I've seen many teachers run out of a classroom crying because the students bullied even them. It is a tragedy when a life is taken prematurely but honestly, the options are already out there that if the Children wanted help it's just a few keystrokes away. If they refuse the help given who are any of you to force it on them? I've reported about a half dozen people for making death threats against me, granted they were pretty much all my Ex girlfriend, her boyfriend, and her parents because I told them all she was cheating because I totally hit that. But a lovely number nonetheless. The options are simple to access, it's simply not the duty of a teacher to deal with something that will go on in other forms, our teachers are already too busy, underpaid and stressed out enough without having to deal with the same stresses the teenagers they teach do, they already went through puberty.

If you want to get something done I suggest having a cop at the local station sit at the computer with a phone and recieve calls specifically for cyber bullying type crimes. The best you can do is report it and hope that someone does something about it, but making the teachers invade our privacy will simply make us lose trust in them even more. Leave it to the Police and FBI it is actually their job, don't put it onto someone else just because they aren't taking it seriously, I suggest making them take it more seriously. Hell, it doesn't take much knowledge to take a complaint, you might not even need real cops to do it.

I certainly do want the more serious cyberbullying where the bully tells the person that they're going to have bodily harm done to them, but honestly kids shouldn't be such pussies that someone telling them they stink they go right to killing themselves I think step one would be take a bath and if somehow that doesn't help, you may want to look into homeschooling if the bullying continues. But simply unless you either change the problem, or learn to not care our immature children are going to kill themselves. If someone is making fun of you because of a cosmetic issue, zits, smell, or clothes simply change it, if your fat, roll with it and make it your own or lose some weight, if they're making fun of you because of how you act either change it, or if you can't don't simply let the popularity monster take away your individuality, just don't care, Good people prefer wierder people over the same generic idiots anyway.

In summary I think putting extra resposibilties on teachers that are already put through hell as it is is just stupid when the options are already out there for people to ask for help, if they refuse to, that is their own mistake. Help the ones who ask for it and as bad as it sounds, cut the losses of the ones who didn't, if you don't ask for help no one will know to give it to you, and reading a Facebook post for something slightly "emo" and jumping the gun will just be annoying to all involved.

See ya next time.
