Re: Calling out Oleg for his offensive behavior.

It's been quite some time since I have contributed to this news group.
After I say my peace, I trust this maybe my last for quite some time. I
recently posted Oleg to please curb his offensive language. Okay so I
am "just" a boom op on this group and as far as I can see not too many
of us post here either. That being said, I still feel that what he
writes is somewhat useful, regarding tech questions. If he could curb
his language,

Most of you would tell me to just let him be, that it only fuels the
flames when we complain about it. But if we don't stand up for what we
feel is right and unjust aren't we propitiating the problem? Pushing it
under the carpet, ignoring it cause we don't want to look like
potstirrers, or maybe we simply don't care enough about it to discuss
it?

I read postings of how you sound mixers being the key in the
department, stand up to producers and let them know what and when
things go wrong. I read how you feel about DP, Directors, Producers who
have serious problems and how you stand for the right.

So I will pose a question to all of you who read here on this group.

Does the words that Oleg and maybe even others offend you? Are the lewd
and offensive words NOT a part of your daily speech?

If you so then you SHOULD state a response. You should stand up for
what you know is unjust. Be the mixers I read here on this group who
are aggressively kind and just.

Now if these words don't offend or they are apart of your daily
regiment and it doesn't bother you that others maybe offended, well
then I guess you can smile and move on.

I am a lady. One with some moral standings. I will admit that there
have been times when I have sworn. I later feel regrettably shameful.
It isn't my daily regiment, I try to think, live, and talk with some
form of respect for others and for myself.

Just cause I am a lady doesn't obligate anyone to behave any better.
But I know many men in our business who do not talk like Oleg. (and
they aren't all Mormons by the way) ha.
So don't think that you men would be looked upon a wuss if you asked
him to curb his words. I appreciate those men who have written and
spoke their concerns.

This isn't a sexist request. IT is a respectful request. Respect for
all of those we don't hear from who read our group and for those for
whom we do.

Kinda long sorry. Oleg, you wrote in your posting that you respect
those who respect you. In the real world, you earn respect. And in my
opinion I don't see much respect from our members to you. This is only
what I see and of course I could be wrong.
Your impute in regard to tech questions a good. You seem to know what
most know. This is not in dispute.

I personally am asking you to think about the words you post and could
you simply not swear??
Do you respect men, women, children, our profession, and yourself??

It has been fun and engaging here on this group. But I simply do not
want to start out my morning reading garbage, pig-swill, shard and all
the other words that describe trash.
I simply don't want to read it.

Sincerely and with only the best intentions,
Ms. Rusty Fisher
