Funny that Stockholm Syndrome is apparently real. It’s not bullying to suggest that if some women are finding that the content skews in a direction they don’t like that they can create their own content and use the pre-existing tools of the ignore/report/ATMB portion of the thread to ask for appropriate enforcement of board rules or creation of new ones. It is bullying to have an in-group deliberately twist words, make up lies, and engage in ad-hominem attacks in an exceedingly persistent manner in order to socially ostracize those who are not ideologically pure. You all would have fit in very well as useful idiots for the likes of Robespiere. ---

But MrDribble needs some competition the way the Golden State Warriors need some competition. Unlike the NBA it’s in my power to give you some pity points. So I award that an “uncivil.” ---

This is giving me an idea for an avatar if I ever joined you miscreants on the epic flounce board you all have. I need to commission an octopus holding a whip and a pimp cane. I don’t want a dunce cap though. I want a velvet, polka dot, brimmed hat. I want some goldfish shoes on two of my tentacles. Maybe a cape or is that too tacky? ---
