Revenge
Let me give you a hypothetical. Imagine that someone said some mean and hurtful things about you on their blog.
Now imagine that the same person sent naked photos of himself to another blogger and later made her mad. Now imagine that she posted those naked photos on a blog.
Now imagine you have over 14,000 subscribers so you can send a few extra over to that blog.
Would you get revenge?

No.
Yes.
In the words of starship troopers, “Dan! You know what to do…” Coughing up blood last words from a hero.
Prolly.
I said NO!!
HELL YES. x]
Do the do, Theo. ;D
This is gonna be good.
A Christian always has to choose against revenge.
“Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”says the Lord. On the contrary: ‘If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.’”
NO BECAUSE IT ISNT WORTH IT. I HAVE GROWN TO LEARN TO FORGIVE AND FORGET AND BE THE BIGGER PERSON. PLUS I BELEIVE IN KARMA, WHAT GOES AROUND EVENTUALLY COMES AROUND, AND IT DOESNT NEED ME FOR HELP.
The specificity of the number 14000 makes me wonder if this is more than just a hypothetical question.
no.
no.
do people know about those “get back at your ex-girlfriend” websites where douches posts naked pictures of their exes? i’m sorry that she cheated on you with your brother, but you WILL get over it eventually. those pictures will be there for everybody to see FOREVER. and who knows who will see them. stalkers? rapists? her close friends who will them mock and ridicule her for years?
simply put, i think it’s downright evil.
no.
Dan, it’s ALWAYS worth it. Everyone here is saying no because it’s the “right thing to do,” but lets be honest, everyone will get a kick out of the resulting drama.
Matthew 7:12, Romans 12:21, 1 peter 3:9-10, matthew 5:10-12.
Read those, then make a decision.
No.
It may seem tempting but it is really immature. It makes you no better than them.
Yeah, but I’d do it in a more subtle way, like in a pulse or something. While saying something that makes it seem like you’re sending people there for a different reason.
No
Revenge always hurts most the person seeking it. Revenge always sounds good. But it does evil to the avenger, because that person often has to use the tools of the devil to achieve the goal of punishing the evil person. That’s the lesson of a bunch of Shakespeare’s plays and, of course, The Count of Monte Cristo.
Besides, who would want to see the naked photos of someone that disgusting? Ewwww.
Have your friend report the creep to the blog administrator. There’s no good reason for anyone to send naked photos of themselves. That sounds like sexual harassment or something. . . .
Dan, why did you send her those naked pictures of yourself?
Nah. No thanks.
go for it.
I love revenge. Please do.
Online revenge is a bit childish but then again I’d click that link. lol
yes, but i wouldnt post the pics because that may be illegal haha
What if the person wants lots of people to see those photos of him? For all that we know, whoever it is might actually like that.
Hell yeahh…duhh…….
Do it!
No I wouldn’t send those naked photos on to other bloggers to get revenge. I would dlete them and block the other blogger who said mean, hurtful things about me in thier blog. There is enough drama and crap going on in Xanga without me addign to it.
Hypothetically, I’d be very tempted. I might even post that link, but I’d probably take it down within five minutes because I’d end up feeling bad. But if somebody had 14,000 subscribers five minutes is a lot of time.
sure why not
Fuck yes. I want to see this shit.
I would only say yes, because the number 14000 seems too specific to be just a random number, and I feel like, now that I know this exists (“hypothetically”), I need to know where.
If it were me though… no, probably not.
Here’s something I know a lot about, Dan. Finally, something I hold a double PhD on you might say. Revenge is most definitely sweet, but VERY short lived. And though the high one gets lasts only a moment, it takes a lifetime of regret to truly understand that Jesus was right when he said, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay.” Take my word for it, Dan.
I would totally get revenge!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!1111ONEONE!!!11
(But I’m just a mean bitch, you do what you feel is necessary)
probably, but it wouldn’t make me feel any better.
ooo…tempting.
That would need to be a truly evil person to do that do. Unless he is hot, then it might be doing him a favor
no
What comes around goes around.
Depends on the severity of what this person did to you.
Aren’t you married?
I think you know what to do.
*waits patiently*
Only if the guy was hawt.
Ew.
Dayyuumm someones’ goin down.
Revenge is sweet… but too much trouble.
Revenge is a dish best served cold. If I were you, I’d wait till the person was least expecting it… then BAM!! I mean shit Dan, if you’re going to do something wrong, then at least do it right.
I’m not vengeful, really.
It would be unsweet if you didn’t.
You should use your Xanga influence for good, not revenge.
ooooooh boooooy
… Admittedly, it is immature. But it’d be quite funny to see it all happen.
Possibly.
As tempting as it may be, is it really gonna be worth it? You should be trying to stop him from continuing his pursuit of hostility instead of getting back at him. Subdue him, don’t entice him to step it up a notch.
Why don’t you tell us the hypothetical Xanga name of this hypothetical blog?
I have been wronged in a major way. My life was wrongfully destroyed by someone. I’m still picking up the pieces and trying to let it go. Because of this, I say “Hell Yah!” What goes around comes around. I hope that their lives are destroyed as much as they have destroyed mine.
In your hypothetical situation, someone else posted the pics. You didn’t do the revenge act. All you would be doing is sending people there. I say, if you don’t want people to see or know about something, don’t do it. He was an idiot for taking the pics and sending them to someone. He had to have known that they would eventually come out. I know alot are saying “no”. But I don’t see it as you doing the vengeful act. The girl is. If it was a pic of a celeb, would you send people to the site? What is the difference?
do it !!!
Yes
No. It’s tempting (and revenge is always fun to imagine about), but think about the circumstances. They flamed you on their blog and now you’re going to post naked pictures of them on your’s? That’s not eye for an eye, but a completely different attack. People who buy into B.S. about others on a blog are morons. A blog is like a journal where you put your own thoughts and feelings (and sometimes you say things you don’t mean). Random strangers who’ve never met you (or them) should be smart enough to read what he says and take it with a grain of salt; it’s hard to truly know someone on the internet. Now, posting nudie pics of your verbal assailant is just wrong. Not only is this humiliating, but now people can take these photos and do whatever they want with them. It’s no longer a matter of pride or reputation, but their actual privacy has been invaded and trampled upon. Ultimately it’s a bad decision.
Is this merely revenge…
Or a just recompense?
Nope, holding a grudge only hurts you…..revenge is a waste of energy.
My heart says No, but my brain says it sounds like fun
@seedsower - When you say no? It turns me on and I want to have sex with you. <3!
Oh, it would be so incredibly tempting but I probably wouldn’t do it. I have too heavy of a conscience and I usually talk myself out of things like this… but it would be so tempting.
Karma’s a bitch, and this is her bitchslapping him.
of course it’ll come back to you eventually…but probably not in the form of nude photos.
yes.
@BenjiRucas - If I said yes it would turn you off ….
not very hypothetical dan! I seriously didn’t need to see that picture, but I did look anyway….
Karma. What goes around comes around. It’s always best to take the high road

i love the sweet smell of revenge in the morning
D(on’t d)o it.
uh huh…….
Why is there so much drama on xanga? ><
No…. but you should privately send me the link anyway… hypothetically speaking, of course.
yes
My conscience says no.Â
Doubt if I’d listen, though.Â
YES
well that person is a dumbass for sending the nude photo* out- and pissing her off
TIP: NEVER LEAK NUDE PHOTO ONLINE — cause people can blackmail you
Those nude photo would come back and haunt you
people should watch those: commercials about internet and its harm
Oh, Dan. And I had to look. My sister is a bad influence. “Click it!” she said.
No thank you…
Hmm.. Possibly.
lols.
Revenge is an empty experience.
“When one sets out for revenge, he must dig two graves.” Chinese Proverb
Revenge is always tempting, but I like knowing that I have control over my impulses (or at least feeling as if I do).
Dan, be straight with me. Are you trying to provoke a flame war? Just how far are you willing to take this?
no!
Absolutely. It’s part of the reason being human is great. We have the ability to partake in and actually enjoy revenge.
Then again, it never ends well for the person who is taking revenge out on someone.
Isn’t that such a great word, it sounds like what it is; revenge.
why not
Hahaha.. Yosho beat you to it.
I only sent those pics to my BFF… and she was mad at me for a week for having to do the brain scrubbing.
I wouldn’t do that.
The best thing I can do is to report him.
My best revenge would be like what V (for Vendetta) did to the people in the Parliament.
THAT was a sweet revenge.
I like the people who were referencing Christian stuff about this.
It depends on what the blogger said, really.
It’s funny. Haven’t seen anything from Paul in here all day and night. Usually he posts something every 5 minutes. Must be on holidays.
“Putting your foot in your mouth” is one thing, “having dik in hand” is another. PP is going to be hating this.
DO IT!!!!!lol.
I don’t think anything he’s said warrants posting his picture like that At the same time, why did he send that picture to a girl he presumably barely knew?/Couldn’t trust? I think once people start grabbing pictures from others, posting them publicly the “community” starts to suck.
Only if each of those 14,000 subscribers bought a dozen eggs and a bottle of chocolate syrup and attacked aforementioned mean person’s house and car.
I’d be tempted… but no. I couldn’t.
Naturally. If they didn’t want to be seen naked, he wouldn’t have sent them out to begin with. =D
You better believe it
NO. I live by the motto of sticks and stones…
Because they were mean to me on the playground? No.
Because they killed my puppy? HELL YES.
No.
hmmm..this is a hard decision..but ive put a lot of thought into this…and what i think you should do is…link it in here!
Since you already did the deed, I’m just going to say one thing…
HAH! Nicely done.
And…is that really him??
why does one of your usual commenters always type in all caps? kinda weird. she must be the yelling type.
Lol. Too late. You recc’ed it already!
I would hope not, but I probably would.
I believe in Karma, but I’m too impatient for it to come around. Do it, hah.
no
Revenge usually backfires. A friend once told me a chinese proverb that says “Wait by the river long enough and you will see the bodies of your enemies float by”.
hm maybe.
Lol, no…because I don’t care that much about what people have to say about me.
I’d feel like getting revenge, I’m sure…but NO, I wouldn’t do it.
No
OH LAWD, yes.
….what?
Why bother?
My feelings might have been hurt, but I could never be that mean to someone else and keep my own integrity.
Never send naked pics. Only receive if possible,
and NO!
I would end up feeling worse. “Your mother taught you better than that!” would come to mind. I’ve been in misery…I don’t care if I despise someone…it doesn’t make my life sweeter, richer, etc. Misery is something I don’t wish upon someone else because I myself can’t deal with the occassion. On a lighter note….Karma, karma, karma, karma, karmacamelion!
Yes.
Hopefully no. I would like to think that I would be man enough to take it on the chin and in good enough shape to be proud of the photos…lol…
You know what’s sad? I wouldn’t do it, but I would laugh heartily when it actually happened.
Now…you and the naked guy need to make nice before this gets super ugly!
“an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.” Ghandi
Definitely I am NOT for revenge. It diminishes the person doing it. It brings one down. It’s definitely not worth it. Messing with karma (or whatever you want to call it) just isn’t worth it. What goes around comes around. Turn the other cheek.
Having said that, I completely understand the impulse to get back at someone. And I’m a big advocate of writing a letter or a blog, blistering the person who hurt you with all your revenge fantasies. And then destroy the letter, delete the blog.
And I think I did see something like this not too long ago. Why a girl would think a boy wouldn’t be proud to show his privates to the world is beyond me. It seems like a boy lives his life trying to show his privates to as many people as possible. I’m just sayin’.
Nah.
I know I’d be tempted.
but I probably wouldn’t. Because while revenge is a dish best served cold, I try very hard not to hate people who’ve wronged me
Because by hating them, I acknowledge their existence, thereby giving them power over me (or at least in my thinking about them).
By ignoring them, they cease to exist in my world. Which may just hurt them more, in the long run – yet it does nothing to me save to reduce the number of people about whom I care.
Nah, it’s not worth the trouble.
*hugs*
Revenge pays only nothing back. I won’t do that.
I was gonna ask for more backstory details but not if it is gonna result in some posted naked man pictures. Ew
No.
14, 000 people reading it!
Or even 10, 000?
Or even 5,000?
Grow up. He/she said some mean stuff, deal with it.
It’s part of having so many subscribers – taking criticism every now and then.
Ruining that person’s life?
The pictures will only keep spreading.
@nattata - LOL ME TOO
Not worth it.
i wouldn’t send naked pics of myself.
it’s better to say mean things about people and be unknown. it requires limiting the bad evidence against you for moments LIKE THIS.
i’m guessing you won’t do it.
People would get a kick out of it , MAYBE, but it’s still wrong and that’s something people could actually get prosecuted for if it got sent to the wrong person, say if one of those 14,000 was under 18. Plus you’ll get over it and end up feeling like a douche, i mean if said hypothetical person existed and had a conscience.
NO. why would you want to do that? What’s with people these days.
But if you must be desperate (or dumb?) enough to stoop down to their level, you’re not much better than the other person.
Yes, but I’d pixilate the identifying features, so only me & them’d know who and what it was. Like a warning.
Unless it’s naked photo’s of me then, NO. LOL
I think just ignore it is okay. We have more important things to do in the real world, don’t we?
Revenge is sweet, but knowing you could do it–and choosing not to do it–that is divine.
I think revenge is ok is some situations.
(PS) Check out my idea & tell me what you think: [click]
yes.
This is really ASM!!!
No, you not only hurt them but you also hurt yourself when you do something like that. I can’t imagine ever hating another human being enough to want to humiliate them in that way. Revenge is a double edged sword it cuts the humanity of both those who wield it and those who it is wielded against.
As a Christian, you should know the “‘Revenge is mine, I will repay’ saith the Lord” verse…
Yes. :]
