If people want to find somewhere and talk about anything that could be related to
men's interests, I'm sure they'll find their way here. Any one who is very opposed to
this group isn't likely to have their mind changed, especially through any kind of
diplomacy (war or peace). To the point those individuals have lead this group to
focus on them, they've "won." Or rather, once you can look back at the threads in
the men's group and see that too many (one is too many) reference ongoing trollage
and rhetoric, men's group loses (loses out on what it should be doing, discussing men's
issues). Go to the issues and let everything else fall as it does. The ongoing "contest",
I guess you could call it, just feels like it makes everyone involved look bad, whether they
are or not.

Nothing can make this group acceptable to some people. JVS Jun 2014 #1
I think one of the things that's great here.... ProudToBeBlueInRhody Jun 2014 #2

Considering how little activity this group gets Blue_Adept Jun 2014 #4
I feel the small amount of activity is because of the vitriol. HuskiesHowls Jun 2014 #5
The vitriol is pervasive and verbally violent. n/t Darkhawk32 Jun 2014 #6

I think it's imperative that this group is fulfilling to its participants. Bystanders? Fuck 'em. lumberjack_jeff Jun 2014 #14
