Cyber Bullies Take Note

Be advised you do not have permission to use volunteer's identities  when you write articles; you my not make bully attack pages about or bullying any private, living persons just because you disagree with an organization they associate to; and you may not in any manner bring harm to any person doing volunteer work for The RINJ Foundation.

By avoiding your path of cyber bullying and harassing individual persons you won't get blamed for untoward things that happen to those persons you target. That can happen when you take it upon yourself to bully individuals online.

You run the risk that some ill-meaning criminal coming out of the woodwork unexpectedly, who with a reasonably expectation of your implied endorsement, will act out in a manner that is especially dangerous even going past your effort at destroying someone's reputation and their life and inflicting physical harm. This is becoming an occurrence for which numerous alerts have been issued.

Play A Positive Roll

If you want to play a positive role in ending rape wordwide, you are better working from the inside. Storming the Bastille walls (in all of history) has never worked. Just being attackers picking one by one on individual volunteers and harassing them continually doesn’t ingratiate your selves with anyone but places you in jeopardy of civil and criminal prosecution. We have numerous direct complaints from people who have been surreptitiously contacted and bullied despite warnings to cease and desist. To those who say they are banned from RINJ forums erroneously for a 'cooling off' period, RINJ offers a remedy.

Volunteers Are Real People Guaranteed Certain Safety

People volunteer to do this work because they believe it is the right thing to do with their spare time. It is not an obsession nor is it a pastime. It’s a volunteered chore that one does to enhance the community. But it isn’t worth the harm that some  people are willing to cause private individuals, whoever you bullies really are.

Well-meaning persons are invited to take down all your destructive bullying you have been publishing and join us and share your views in the normal and proper way and then continue to do useful and fulfilling volunteer work.

In the alternative, cyber bullies, cease and desist or be subject to all legal and extra-legal remedies available to the victimized parties. You are not anonymous. You think using screen names gives you anonymity, but the 'law' can find you these days.

Looking at the way ahead.

Rape hasn’t ended so the mission isn’t complete by a long shot. If you and any colleague(s) seriously wishes to do work of a positive nature then join us and share your views civilly and be a part of creating a forward-looking operating model for RINJ that is inclusive. Anyone who wants to do that may approach RINJ volunteers by email at RINJ Email  and she will arrange for any blocks to be removed and introductions that might be needed.

The RINJ Foundation has become more diverse than in the past after flying many concepts up the flagpole. Beyond  the “Facebook Rape Page Campaign” RINJ volunteers have decided to go forward in multiple areas. RINJ has conducted a number of focus groups and has published numerous teasers and sampled results.

For one, there is a consensus that lobbying for legislative change in several countries and having the UN initiate a steering committee that could investigate and council member nations on what Statutes have been effective among member states and reach some international consensus so that in the matters of sexual assault, “Justice” is no longer a “joke”! There are a number of sophisticated methods to be arrived at and some steep hurdles to overcome in order to encourage MOST NATIONS that they must fully and diligently prosecute rapists. RINJ seeks higher penalties for rapists and has a methodology for promoting the careers of judges who adopt similar views. RINJ has adopted an ambitious model for it’s way ahead and is open to change.

RINJ believes that it must ACTIVELY and AGGRESSIVELY attack media that promotes rape jokes, misogyny, rape drugs, child exploitation (rape culture in all) and I do mean attack. Consider Marshall McLuhan’s warning about the media. He was right. To a large extent the media governs society. While that  is unacceptable, we may need to focus on the most deplorable aspects first. .

Why?... because the media was not democratically elected to govern. In democracies we elect our public-policy makers, not “shock-jocks” to set public policy. Media, no matter if it is traditional or ‘new media’, that provides content that advocates conduct that is criminal in nature and in many ways contrary to community values is destructive and most be opposed vigorously by the people. The publication or broadcast of messages by popular media implying that it’s OK to sexually assault a person is likely to lead to that crime happening. (The same is true of people who online cyber bully a person in the hope that they can drive many people to bring harm to that individual.)

In short, the way ahead has been under evaluation for some months and some exciting prospects are emerging. People, you can be on the outside of the walls behaving out of antipathy or you can join those on the inside and through cooperation, bring about a good result over time.
