discussionist is a misogynist pit hole - vulgar language

[polly7]

128. Nah ..... it's not NEARLY three years ago,though I understand how inflammatory that sounds.

It's every second day.

Take this stupidest of stupid subthread from just yesterday. This is the kind of thing I hate seeing - people trying to discuss something in good faith having it trolled to the point it's all just a jumble of meaningless crap. making shit up, accusing people of things never said, turned into some huge flame-fest that's honest-to-god baffling for anyone except the one wanting to stir it up.

And that's not even counting the 'dog' calling, rape-apologist, pedophile-enabler, women who need a 'pat on the head' for self-worth crap that's posted ALL the time in your group among all the other insulting, hateful stuff.

Accusing good people of horrible things, without taking even a minute to stop, think,try to understand and comment back with even a modicum of respect. There is NO respect for anyone even slightly disagreeing, and it's always, and expectedly met with pushback. None of us own this board, and yet some .... who dare to offer an altering opinion are treated like dirt, while the tables are ALWAYS turned to make the instigator the victim. It's junior high shit on steroids. But it seems to work well for some.

Maybe a little more tolerance for those who do have minds of their own but don't express themselves inthe way your group deems the 'only way' and a bit less outright hatred and hostility might go a long way to healing ........... until then, you get exactly what you give (your group).
