It may have been lifted, to be honest, but **kanicbird** was, at least once upon a time, restricted to posting questions and posts to a specific thread in GD that were in regards to either his rather …unusual religious beliefs, or Life After Death. I can’t recall which. And it’s possible I am confusing him for another poster entirely. That all being said, there is precedence. We had a poster by the name of **handy** who was prohibited from posting medical advice in threads, and I’m sure there are others. While **Der Trihs** does not turn any thread he posts in into the **Der** show, I think this is because he doesn’t respond to every person who posts in response to him like Dio used to. Hell, he doesn’t respond to me at all anymore, but I think that might be because we have mutually ignored each other. ---

As I said in the other thread, he’s exactly like GW Bush or any religious fundamentalist. He’s impervious to facts that don’t fit his pre-conceived ideas, and he will never admit he’s wrong on anything related to politics or religion. He’s a sad little man filled with hate and anger. A lot like certain leftists on a board in Canada that I _sometimes_ frequent. ---

He and a few other posters hijacked the thread when _women who had been raped_ admitted the resulting anxiety and fearfulness around strange men/circumstances similar to the rape. He attacked the rape victims for being sexist, because they had PTSD. The level of vitriol he had was just insane. It was probably one of the single most disturbing things I’ve witnessed here.

> [@Damuri\_Ajashi](#): > > I have run into this facet of Der Trihs liberalism in threads about child support. He doesn’t believe men should have to pay child support for children they did not want. In other words if women have the right to choose whther or not to have a child then so should men. I think in his mind, he is not for women’s rights, he is for equal rights (and that frequently means falling on the feminist end of the spectrum). > > I’ve never had problems with the whole consent issue in sex but I have no idea what sort of experience Der Trihs is used to or what sort of crowds he hangs out with. Maybe all the women he knows are in the “all sex is rape” camp and that has skewed his view. Maybe he’s like that old joke about Republicans, they’re Democrats who’ve been mugged. Der Trihs sounds like he’s been accused of something by women and now cannot trust them for anything. That child support thing, if accurate, is like the stance someone would take despite knowing that the biological differences between men and women already means the playing field is not level, but is ignoring it in favor of some arbitrary rule hoping that it will force equality. He’s a smart guy, he has to realize you can’t treat men and women the same way. ---

If that’s true, I don’t ever, EVER want to read another word from him on how the right hates women. In fact, I think that should be brought up every time (as well as the one about how women accuse men of rape, so secretly video taping one’s sexual encounters makes sense). ---

> [@YogSosoth](#): > > …he has to realize you can’t treat men and women the same way. I whole heartedly agree. Treating men and women the same is why the world is as fucked up as it is and why the global economy is in the shitter. The moment we started treating women like equals we started our own downfall. To fix this we must go back to treating women differently. Back to the kitchen ye vile wenches and fetches us a mead. ---

The moment we started treating women like equals we started our own downfall. To fix this we must go back to treating women differently. Back to the kitchen ye vile wenches and fetches us a mead. Treating men and women “equally” and treating men and women “the same” isn’t the same thing. I’ve never met any women who argue that just because men are allowed to walk around topless that women should as well. Similarly I’ve never met any women who’ve argued that the unwanted touching of a woman’s chest should be treated no differently than the unwanted touching of a man’s chest(I.E. Rahm Emanuel jabbing people in the chest while arguing with them) and I think most womb would object if the NCAA required all female swimmers to wear the same outfits as men. However, that doesn’t mean women shouldn’t be treated equally. ---
