Warning-may be upsetting--FWD: Offensive site

[Guest guest]

The guy who updates this page calls himself Tucker Max. It is an alias. I

wasn't able to determine where lives. He claims he is from Chicago, IL, but I

doubt that is true either.

I DO know that he buys his server space from this company....

http://www.featureprice.com/

I looked up his IP address.

Maybe if enough of us go to this site and e-mail them about the content they

will force him to buy server space elsewhere.

He would probably just move his website to another server, but it is worth a

try.

Nope. I just went there at 5:33 PM EST and it is alive & well. Isn't there

some one responsible for getting this garbage off the Internet? Obviously, the

writers of this stuff aren't going to take it down if we ask them to.

I agree with Cheryl. I'd love to find out who it is and end their sped

career. These people belong in a working environment with machines not other

people. What depraved minds.

God help our kids!

I checked it and couldn't get it to come up either. Let's hope it's gone

for good!

Is Aimes still on this list? Her husband Brett has some ways to dig

up this kind of info.

I am most reluctant to share this site with you as I hate to have any more

hits on it than its creator has already received. It is insidious and

hateful. But that is it's point. It is there to bate, annoy, rattle a cage,

incite our reaction and anger.

While the obvious question here is -- Do we endure this site under free

speech?

The one that really must be addressed --Do we allow this teacher to continue

in her position of caring (!!??)for our children?

Of course like anything on the web...who knows the validity of this

site...But as Bush is getting ready to put his cyber cops in order...I

wonder...If we could point them in this direction?

And then go here

http://198.104.139.118/

This is the person who actually writes the Tard Blog itself. She is a real

person, and really teaches mentally retarded and behavior disorder kids in a

real public school. Her real name is neither " Teacher of the Tards, " nor

" Riti Sped. " It is concealed for obvious reasons. When asked what she wanted

written about her, this is what she responded: " I guess you could call me

" Teacher of the Tards. " Also, I specialize in working with " BD " kids

(behavior disorder). The school I am at has a SBD program, meaning severe

behavior disorder, the highest classification of the naughty reetees. We

even have a black box that the tards have to go into if they are bad, and we

have to hold the door shut so they don't escape. This is probably the

leading reason as to why my workday encounters are so extreme. Nonetheless,

it beats a fXXXg desk job. And I can talk a lot of sXXt to the tards and

then deny it all. " She can be reached at the general Tard Blog email address,

tardblog@... Max: Tucker is the person most responsible for

putting up and maintaining this website. Though he does not write the

content of the actual Tard Blog, he does write just about everything else on

the site. If you are mad, and looking for someone to blame, focus your anger

on him. He probably deserves it. When he is not doing Tard Blog related

activities, he works on his other site, The Tucker Max Date Application

Page, or participates in his two favorite activities, drinking and

cavorting. He would write much more about himself here, but a full viewing

of his self-aggrandizement can be found at his website.He can be reached at

either the Tard Blog email address, or at tuckermax@...

Should I feel bad for laughing at these stories?No. Absolutely not. These

are stories related by a special education teacher and written with the

intent of making the reader laugh. To that end, there is a much sharper edge

to the stories than there is to Riti Sped's behavior towards her students.

If you separate the page from the teacher, then you should have no problem

laughing at these stories. Now, if you made fun of a retarded person in a

cruel way to their face, or was intentionally mean or cruel to a retarded

person that you met, then you are a horrible person and should be shot.

Laughing at this page is no different than laughing at Dead Baby jokes. No

one would laugh at an actual dead baby, but the jokes, in a separate

context, are nonetheless funny.

Even though neither Riti nor Tucker have the slightest bit of guilt or

compunction over this page, they understand that many readers are shocked

and horrified, not at the page, but rather at how much humor they derive

from the stories

1. Make yourself feel better about the fact that you are a cruel heartless

bastard for laughing at the suffering of the mentally retarded and

physically handicapped 2. Possibly save your soul from an eternity of

damnation for mocking the plight of the less fortunate 3. Give money to an

organization that promotes tards acting like tards

My posting about Karrie dancing was done in direct reaction to reading this

post. While I know it sounds trite to all of us here, these people are the

true losers. They can have their stupid attitudes and lousy sense of humor

(and I am sending an email protesting this site, this " teacher " and

everything else related to it). I have Karrie and the blessing she has

brought to me as an individual and as a mother. How could these people know

what truly is important in life? Since Karrie, I have found that happiness

and fulfillment.

Again, I know that this may sound trite to all of you, since all of you know

exactly what I mean. Just my way of venting.

Is it really possible that there is an actual teacher contributing to this site.

It made me physically ill to just consider that a possibility. Does anyone

think there is any possible way to uncover the identity of the teacher involved,

if indeed it is a teacher?

I wish we could discover where the teacher is and send a copy of the site to

their school board and newspapers! It scares me to think that this is a reality

for some kids somewhere!

I think any public attention we give these guys is giving them exactly what they

want - attention.

Maybe someone can get a major newspaper to do a story about how awful this is

and how damaging it is to families. Any ideas?

[Guest guest]

What would really be sad is if a child with MR, would actually end up with one

of these individuals as a parent. Poor kid wouldn't know what hit him. People

like that deserve to be shot.0

Too true, unfortunately. But lobbying the company to get something so

disgusting off the webways doesn't bother me a bit.

Don't internet service providers (ISP) have information on persons they serve?

Perhaps a trace would be possible. If this person is for real, they do not need

to be protected but some kids obviously do.
