I am sure there are many, many more of us out there.

I'd see posts from members and think, "Whoa! That's harsh!" Over time, I saw that any harshness from people here was only a reaction to hate, or a response to long term relentless baiting. I also saw any single true harshness from HoFers being dredged up for months and months and months as being unacceptable and horrifying, while absolutely outrageously sexist comments and name calling toward HoFers was cheered.

When you step back, the things these women are saying are not revolutionary, are not unreasonable, are not even all that unusual. They boil down to, "We insist on being treated as people." DU ought to be able to do that.

I think, in threads, I always saw you as someone who was strongly supporting that very reasonable position.

Thank you for this OP.
