Good points are made on all sides of this discussion. Maybe a takeaway here is how to better disagree or dissent in a more tactful way. I definitely include myself there, I know that I can learn a lot in that area. ---

> [@Inner\_Stickler](#): > > The problem is not dissenting opinions. The problem is stupid opinions. I don’t think the problem is opinions at all. I think the problem is attitudes. Its a lack of respect, covered up with “well, if you are such a delicate flower, maybe its too rough for you to play with the big boys - good riddance and don’t let the door hit you on the way out.” Because, of course, no one will miss Anaamika when she is gone enough to open a thread asking about her and its all about you. (And I don’t know for sure that’s why she left. I suspect it. I know for sure its why other women have left). ---

> [@Dangerosa](#): > > Humm, I have eight PhDs and six MDs on my friends list on Facebook - not bothering with the lawyers and people with master’s degrees - off the top of my head. And I’m VERY selective in my Facebook friends. Most of them handle big words pretty well. Right now I’m engaged in a statistical discussion on the efficacy of chiropractic care and the associated risks. Bet it’s not in public groups. I’m in a half-dozen closed groups with very specialized people, but that’s not FB as a whole, or groups that are less selective. I can visualize any “aren’t men mean” gathering to lack a requirement for advanced degrees. ---

I can visualize any “aren’t men mean” gathering to lack a requirement for advanced degrees. Why would I participate in public groups on Facebook? And my private women’s group is about twelve women - all of them with degrees. Two PhDs, at least five masters degrees. But we honestly spend more time talking about wine and books than “aren’t men mean” - or, in fact, men at all. ---

And thats true for everybody, no one is putting a gun to your head and forcing you to participate… If you find threads offensive; don’t participate in them.

Ok we are done here. It’s degenerated into a half Pit half ATMB thread and left the original question long ago. If you want to bicker with your fellow posters over their attitudes open a Pit thread. If you want to discuss what behaviors should be moderated open an ATMB thread. The question about Anaamika was answered in post #7. This thread is closed.
