Confirms it how?	Orrex	Jan 2014	#44

Yes it is anecdotal but I have gotten complaints.	hrmjustin	Jan 2014	#139
Here's a question:	Orrex	Jan 2014	#152
No. If a post is hidden it is because 4 to 6 people said hide it.	hrmjustin	Jan 2014	#189
We have received the official confirmation	Orrex	Jan 2014	#209

More than that, there should be consequences for frivolous alerting. n/t	Egalitarian Thug	Jan 2014	#20
That could be something to think about.	Cleita	Jan 2014	#24

Developing a system to find and track this behavior would be very simple. n/t	Egalitarian Thug	Jan 2014	#69

Would it be okay for a White person to keep that information private	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#230
How do I know what you are?	countryjake	Jan 2014	#241
are you calling me a Rightwing Nut now too?	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#246
So that is all that you got from my reply?	countryjake	Jan 2014	#257
No...I don't NEED your opinions about what it is like to be a woman..do African Americans	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#259
So building solidarity isn't important in the fight for women's rights?	countryjake	Jan 2014	#294
Being supportive doesn't mean you get to have opinions about what it is like..	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#296
Which brings us full circle in this whole tete a tete.	countryjake	Jan 2014	#307
Do African Americans? Do LGBT?	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#418
So you were right about its meaning...	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#237
It's "cutting off your nose to spite your face."	DirkGently	Jan 2014	#235
Wow.	OilemFirchen	Jan 2014	#367
'Cutting one's nose off despite one's face.'	pacalo	Jan 2014	#386
Thank you!	Cleita	Jan 2014	#110
"jake" doesn't get to have an opinion about what it is like to be a woman in America	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#113
Heh heh...	countryjake	Jan 2014	#124
You have no right to tell me what I should or shouldn't feel as a woman	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#126
^^^THIS^^^	Tuesday Afternoon	Jan 2014	#129
You are assuming "jake" is a man.	Cleita	Jan 2014	#156
what insults? Why is the truth an insult?	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#168
Some of these folks remind me ultraradical campus Maoists. It's like a bad parody of feminism.	Comrade Grumpy	Jan 2014	#131
Women hold up half the sky!	countryjake	Jan 2014	#145
While yet others accurately exemplify the League for Men's Rights	LanternWaste	Jan 2014	#154
a "parody of feminism"?	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#169
No. No.	Cleita	Jan 2014	#174
No did you or did you not applaud my being called an "internet dictator"?	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#177
But you didn't make the insult.	Cleita	Jan 2014	#184
No I didn't and NOW asking me if I am a Conservative....	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#187
An alertable offense.	Cleita	Jan 2014	#206
Please do!	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#210
Are you a conservative? You seem to be in high dander about the question.	Cleita	Jan 2014	#214
This question doesn't even deserve a response...	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#220
by the way...was the word "comrade"	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#193
comrade is complimentary from me but I never called you that.	Cleita	Jan 2014	#203
You applauded it...along with "Internet Dictator"	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#207
and when did Social Democracy get confused with	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#197
I not against communism either like in kibbutz, communes or	Cleita	Jan 2014	#201
then why did you even bring them up?	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#205
actually...that is EXACTLY what you are doing....	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#179
This is what you are doing.	Cleita	Jan 2014	#198
All I have said is that Men don't get a pass when it comes to women's issues...	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#202
Not fun is it when you get back some of your own.	Cleita	Jan 2014	#211
I don't know...how is that crow you are eating taste?	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#213
Ah come on.	Cleita	Jan 2014	#217
I haven't changed my position....	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#221
where is this "truth" you claim to have that didn't suit me?	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#222
Message auto-removed	Name removed	Jan 2014	#299
not just men. -	Tuesday Afternoon	Jan 2014	#40
If you allow 2 women to say that...then those women SHOULD be dealt with accordingly.	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#42
I dealt with it in the only way I know how to on this Site. I do not participate or engage either	Tuesday Afternoon	Jan 2014	#45
You sure have some authoritarian views for a progressive.	Cleita	Jan 2014	#75
And who are you to judge who is or isn't a "progressive"?	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#77
About the time you became the gender police.	Cleita	Jan 2014	#82
I am a female...that gives me an inside track...on what I should or shouldn't be outraged about.	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#87
Then why did you bring it up if you don't feel adequate to put	Cleita	Jan 2014	#99
It's not a feeling...its knowing I don't...	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#101
"señora commandant"	xulamaude	Jan 2014	#80
Really!	Cleita	Jan 2014	#89
LOL! "internet petty dictator."	xulamaude	Jan 2014	#92
do white people have a right to tell black people how they should feel?	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#127
Good God!	Squinch	Jan 2014	#46
more like good gawdamn!!	Tuesday Afternoon	Jan 2014	#48
Yes.	Squinch	Jan 2014	#55
this happened in The Lounge ... not that it excuses the behavior. Happened on or about June 2013.	Tuesday Afternoon	Jan 2014	#58
I hear about that, but I missed it.	Squinch	Jan 2014	#59
meh, I just considered the source and moved on but, sometimes it still rankles when discussions	Tuesday Afternoon	Jan 2014	#63
What I have seen in the situation you describe, is someone posting an opinion a little different	RC	Jan 2014	#117
That's nice, dear.	Squinch	Jan 2014	#120
Have any other words of wisdom?	RC	Jan 2014	#133
Squinch,	Tuesday Afternoon	Jan 2014	#141
I hope	Squinch	Jan 2014	#164
A. You have no idea who's alerting let	sufrommich	Jan 2014	#149
I don't need to know.	RC	Jan 2014	#167
You DO realize the validity of such an exercise...	tkmorris	Jan 2014	#153
I invite you to try the exercise yourself going forward.	Squinch	Jan 2014	#165
If men can't have an opinion on those issues, then why even post them in GD?	Vashta Nerada	Jan 2014	#70
men should come to learn...	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#74
Without participating in the discussion?	Vashta Nerada	Jan 2014	#78
they should listen and learn not presume to say they "know what its like"	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#84
Distilled down what you are saying is men should STFU.	MicaelS	Jan 2014	#135
When people whose race you don't share talk about their racial experiences, do	Squinch	Jan 2014	#180
when it comes to Women's rights issues....that they seem to think they	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#182
When ANYONE tells me to STFU, that is when I stop listening.	MicaelS	Jan 2014	#194
How unfortunate for you.	Squinch	Jan 2014	#199
No, not unfortunate at all.	MicaelS	Jan 2014	#212
Life is too rich to insist that you can't learn from what other have to tell you about their	Squinch	Jan 2014	#219
So let's turn this around.	MicaelS	Jan 2014	#224
Asking which issues isn't parsing. It's clarifying. So, which issues?	Squinch	Jan 2014	#228
^^^ THIS ^^^	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#238
You really think you should tell men what they should do?	tkmorris	Jan 2014	#161
Do you really think you have more expertise in what it is to be a woman than a woman does?	Squinch	Jan 2014	#170
its also soft misogyny.	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#250
Did I say I did?	tkmorris	Jan 2014	#251
You were responding to a post that said:	Squinch	Jan 2014	#287

"Why not start a Women's Group where these issues can be discussed without the opinions of men?"	xulamaude	Jan 2014	#88
Groups are protected.	Vashta Nerada	Jan 2014	#91
Not THAT protected.	xulamaude	Jan 2014	#106
Oh?	Vashta Nerada	Jan 2014	#109
Yes, as far as I know, those who do not	xulamaude	Jan 2014	#114
There you go, sport.	Vashta Nerada	Jan 2014	#116
Sport??	xulamaude	Jan 2014	#121
Are African Americans expected to do the same for Whites?	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#128
I think that you are responding to the wrong person here...	xulamaude	Jan 2014	#130
no...	VanillaRhapsody	Jan 2014	#132

Good for you.	Vashta Nerada	Jan 2014	#319
And you are allowed to post in anything you want to. But if you hate these threads so much,	Squinch	Jan 2014	#332
I don't hate those threads.	Vashta Nerada	Jan 2014	#336
