That rape warning wasn’t even the first problem he had with the issue. As Miller stated in that thread:

> [@I think Miller was wrong to warn me in this BBQ Pit thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-think-miller-was-wrong-to-warn-me-in-this-bbq-pit-thread/732391/40):

> Not much to add here in my defense that hasn’t already been said. This is the perfect application of the “don’t be a jerk” rule: to cover behavior so obviously and unambiguously beyond the pale that we never considered the need to make an explicit rule against it. And it’s not exactly like this came out of the blue. He’d just recently been enjoined from discussing sports-related rape accusations in Game Room threads. Most people would take that as a hint to back off on the subject in general…

In other words, that controversy came on the heels of being asked to not discuss sports-related rape accusations. So this most recent topic ban on women and sports is basically just another example of his problem with women and sports.

Here is the “guidance” to knock it off that I believe Miller was referencing:

> Another ridiculous Title IX gold digging lawsuit! Mike Riley is now being sued, along with Oregon State for creating a ‘culture of rape’ A woman claims she was raped in October 1999!! Oh, that’s right , Riley wasn’t even OSU coach then! 7.5 million dollars will help this poor damsel in distress recover from her ‘rape’

Just to provide a little more context to what was going on prior to that warning.
