Commenter Blacklisted for #rword Violation!

Webmaster Sam: I’ve just erased comments by a commenter and blacklisted his future comments. I don’t think it was a SuperFolder, but it was not a random spammer. It was someone actually commenting on someone’s origami.

I’ll let Tom explain why.

Tom: Sam, thanks for taking care of this. I’m sorry that it may have been up for a few days while we were busy in DC.

This commenter called some of the origami on this site “retarded.”

First of all, there’s no reason to criticize other people’s origami. That’s Harvey’s job. DON’T BE A HARVEY!

But more importantly, using the word “retarded” as an insult is completely unacceptable. Even Harvey wouldn’t do something like that.

I encourage all SuperFolders to join me in signing the pledge at http://www.r-word.org !

I mean, Tom has Aspergers, but does that mean he’s #@*%&$! (I don’t want to even type it) ? No way! That is mean, rude, terrible, and unacceptable! I can not believe someone would actually say that.

  SW Ricky wrote @

The “r” word is UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If any one has ANY problem with someone’s origami and decides to say that word that is intolerable and that commenter must be removed. All of that is unacceptable!

Man, people need to learn some respect. If your going to say the r word don’t say it on the internet because someone will probably say it back at you.

  Scott McDanel wrote @

who ever did that doesn’t have any respect for the stooky work superfolders do

  Anakin SKywalker wrote @

I pledged! I saw Tom`s pledge, too!

  Kungfutyla wrote @

I pledged. This is a great idea to get people to pledge. And to the person who said that mean word that I’m not even going to spell, if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all please, because it’s not nice. And that person that made the Origami is probably very sad right now. So please just don’t do it!

Yeah!use the word rainbow bacon!

  Yodamaster wrote @

Whoever this was obviously doesn’t understand that we have rules here. I think if they WERE a real SF, they would see this post, and feel the shock of guilt, learning their lesson. No one has come foreward, so it was obviously either an internet troll, a hacker, or someone just random.

  SF Robby wrote @

No more of the r-word or else

  SF Robby wrote @

Sorry my cousin typed that or else thing please delete it but any way; no r word

  SF Robby wrote @

By the way on the DULUXE yoda page a guy commented with the name Tomsbooksarestupid

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

Ha! Well, that’s okay…. As long as he doesn’t use an offensive term, he can call my books anything he likes.

  Robby wrote @

And he said” Tom’s books are the most stupidest thing in the world. I HATE THEM. Where the heck did he get his ideas!?!?!? I don’t like him. I might as well be a harvey.” see what I mean

  Anakin SKywalker wrote @

*gasp* I went into a book store and ASKED if they had Tom`s books, ignoring all the weird looks because (A) I`m me, (B) because I`m porbably older than socially acceptable to be reading OY, but I DON`T CARE! Would I do that for a stupid book?

  Bear Gun Productions wrote @

ugh! i went to the deluxe yoda how to fold page and someones comment name had a swear word in it! it disgusts me! people please don’t comment rude or inapropriate names or comments

  SF Ian wrote @

That stinks! Let’s make a new r-word–respect!

  SF Robby wrote @

Here’s a good one: RECOLA

The guy who used “rabbit” or %@#$&% is just well im not gonna say it-fine $#!%.

  Robby wrote @

I bet soapy said it

  Robby wrote @

Maybe it was IB

  cool guy wrote @

Yep im definitaly signing this pledge right now! Oh, and i wonder who this guy is. And why would he say this things? Tom, or any body whos a superfolder, ask your origami yoda. Maybe he has an answer.

  cool guy wrote @

all right, i just got done pledging, and im definitaly going to be making adifference if i ever hear someone say the “r” word again. anybody who agrees with me should find any pic. you can on this website and, even if their wierd, write awesome comments about it. I’m sure it’ll make their day.

  seabasss2012 wrote @

That’s not right !!! People should never insult any ones stuff !!! Like my teacher says ” If you don’t have any thing nice to say then don’t say it at all !!! ” And that’s pretty much the same thing as cyber bullying! Who would do that besides harvey !!! : – /

  seabasss2012 wrote @

R E S P E C T !!!
Treat people respectfully!!!

  cool guy wrote @

i’ve got a new “r” word for this person. R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!!!!!!

  Super Folder Topher wrote @

My friend has a “Stop the ‘R’ Word”T-shirt

  SF Ian wrote @

I made the pledge!
PS Let’s hope nobody makes some random post and create a giant conversation on some whole other topic

  sffirk wrote @

Also,the word retard should not be used in this manner ,only a medical term!so,don’t say it,unless your a doctor!

  Tom Angleberger wrote @

Actually, I don’t think a doctor would say it either. It is outdated and generally considered offensive in almost any use…

  Robert wrote @

hey tom. Im glad that we’re finally taking a stand to people like this. I hope the guy can be caught, and if not, i hope he lives with his guilt forever.What a terrible person!

  Robby wrote @

Grrrrrrrr

  Robby wrote @

Please make a different name Robert. I want to be one of a kind
