I do find myself in agreement with knalC.  If nobody knows who you are, how can they bloodline you? 

If you only tell people you "trust" who you are and you still get killed just for being you then maybe you need new friends. 

If your bloodline has created enemies over generations, then come back and advertised their presence, is it unsurprising to find they may have a target on their back?

To get back to Smurfette's original request...

One of my fore-fore-fore fathers had a very dear, long-departed friend, who was being repeatedly intimidated by someone's bloodline; hitlisted, shot at, odd/cryptic messages and small gifts dropped off anonymously with threatening messages.  When shots were taken, shooters were killed by my fore-father or at his request, yet still the harassment continued.

Surely this is bloodlining, just because it doesn’t succeed doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

Anyway, long story shortened; with some detective work, piecing together obituries, known family members and all round sleuthing that would impress the Hardy Boys...a name was given of the latest member of this bloodline.  Let's call him Zane.  Despite the shots stopping, there were still occasional anonymous gifts deposited at strange times of the night...so when his boss died, Zane’s location was quickly identified and he was removed…and Zane’s son identified and marked.

It’s the way of the world…you have threats, you neutralise them and identify them again if need be.  I would personally rather be known as a protector of my family…it doesn’t pay to be anything but that. 

So rightly or wrongly, one man/woman’s bloodlining is easily another man/woman’s proactive protection.

Rather than worrying about letting people know who you are, try not being a complete shitbag generation after generation. That will really help.

So since you all changed this thread into something it is not I will also.

You see my problem with that particular crew was the jokes about rape.

RAPE is not something you joke about.

so if you people are going to hate me defile me and persecute me  Because I said no RAPE JOKES are not okay.

That means you think they are and that means you are really shitty people.

Run along, knalC, despite how desperate you are for my attention, you remain a complete irrelevance. 

You actually responded to me first lol. But sure thing. 

Now jokes are all fine and dandy when they are not rape related.

Misogyny 101

Men are praised being called brave for bringing out the rape and sexual harassment issues done against them  by priests and boy scout leaders 20 years after the fact. Women who do the same thing are called liars and defiled.

That's so incredibly not correct. So, every single women that has accused anyone of rape is called a lair? That's just not true. Not even close. Such a closed minded sentence! 

women are taken very seriously when it comes to rape. Always have and always will. And rightly so. It's an appalling subject, one that shouldn't even be anywhere near this place. It has zero place on this society or any for that fact. 

But while we are discussing this and it's Merritt's of women Vs man, there has been plenty of cases of women accusing a man/group of men of rape when in actual fact that wasn't correct. So on the contrary it's inherently easier for women to go through this process.it certainly doesn't mean that they are called liars. The justice system investigates and a decision is made. It's that simple. 

Just because you are a women doesn't mean you are lying. And likewise just because you are a man, you're praised for it. 

Such a stupid thing to say.

that s interasting

To be totally honest, I came here expecting this topic to be on Gargamel and I was kind of surprised that it wasn't.

Right, I believe I do the best imitation of Gargamel's cat you have never asked for. Feel free to ask me about it next time we meet !
