Yep, same here. I’ll try to respond to at least some of the points raised in this thread so far though.
As was pointed out way back in post #9, this is entirely a misunderstanding of what I wrote on your part. Again, as was already said, what you are calling a response is not a response. It is a comment on posts that were made, and a hope that the OP might gain some understanding based on responses from the thread. It was not the moderation response that you are making it out to be.
This part of my response is more pertinent:
This is the part that I thought was saying pretty much exactly what you are asking for. I am trying to make it clear that while I am allowing the thread to continue, we really don’t want OP’s like that here. You can argue that I did not state it clearly enough or explicitly enough, but that was the intent, to say that the OP, and posts along similar lines, are not acceptable here.
Look, I’m human, and the English language is not precise. Sometimes what I am trying to say may not come across exactly how it was intended. I apologize for not being clear enough, and I will attempt to be more explicit on this topic going forward.
I thought you were clear on the misunderstanding back around post #11 of this thread. If you are going to continue to be angry over what you thought I said instead of what I actually said, well, I can’t help you there.
To all of our female members, we are committed to making this place less misogynistic, and we are at least attempting to provide exactly the support that you are looking for. Again, we’re human, and we’re pretty much guaranteed to make a few mistakes as we continue down this path, but we are all working towards the same goal here.
To all of those in this thread who think we are going down the wrong path, or think that we are arbitrarily enacting some draconian set of rules, or that we need some explicitly stated 400 page rule book so you will know exactly where the lines are, let me be blunt. All of you need to get with the fucking program. We are on this path, we are committed to it, and we have the full support of our administrator behind it. We are not making unreasonable demands, and what we are asking for is not difficult to understand.
We do not currently have any female moderators. However, our administrator is female, and while you generally do not see much from her posted on the board, she is very much involved in the moderation here behind the scenes.
