chiming in to make a thread (about an issue women take seriously) about their own manly concerns- and thus completely avoid the OP.
If you haven't noticed how frequently that happens- then you haven't been paying attention. I got so fed up with it, I replied "I don't fucking care" every time I saw a man do this in a thread about women''s issues. I'm guessing I did that about 40 times in three days and got on a dozen ignore lists. Because if any of these guys actually cared- they'd say or do something with their own damned threads. It's kind of obvious it's a game. And while you are at it, give Valerie Solanas a rest, one crazy person from 40 years ago guys doesn't have jack shit to do with real life.

calling out a person for derailing and disrupting a thread is misandry? bettyellen Sep 2013 #27

I would describe a man who responds "every time" to women's problems with "I don't fucking care" lumberjack_jeff Sep 2013 #30

I'm not about to apologize for being fed up with bullshit derailing. The men who do that ought to bettyellen Sep 2013 #31

Here, in this forum, it's not derailing. lumberjack_jeff Sep 2013 #32

the posts you brought up by Googling whatever were not all here- we were discussing bettyellen Sep 2013 #33

"I don't fucking care" doesn't need context. It is fairly unambiguous. lumberjack_jeff Sep 2013 #34

Nonsense. None of care about all things equally- and we all know of people who are full of bettyellen Sep 2013 #35

Unfortunately, most of the comments lauding the "brilliant Swiftian satire" of V. Solanas are gone. Warren DeMontague Aug 2013 #3

And real issues, as usual, take a backseat to personal beefs. No matter what "side" you're on. nomorenomore08 Aug 2013 #7

I don't know if anyone has noticed Warren DeMontague Aug 2013 #8

Good idea. Probably for the best to wait it out on the sidelines. nomorenomore08 Aug 2013 #9

Not nearly everyone. RiffRandell Aug 2013 #10

You mean, without the "nearly" qualifier? You may be right, actually... nomorenomore08 Aug 2013 #11

I'd imagine that the destruction of Meta Hayabusa Aug 2013 #4

I would say this qualifies... opiate69 Aug 2013 #12

Whoa..that definitely qualifies.. Upton Sep 2013 #18

Chah! lumberjack_jeff Sep 2013 #19

Oh yeah.. I saw that hide... I was kinda flabbergasted, honestly... opiate69 Sep 2013 #22

DU would hear about it for a year, at least. Warren DeMontague Sep 2013 #20

Aint that the fuckin truth opiate69 Sep 2013 #21

Yeah, nobody ever said the rules weren't enforced selectively here. nomorenomore08 Sep 2013 #24

If someone came up with some concrete examples- like, ones that didn't come from 10 post trolls, or Warren DeMontague Sep 2013 #25

I agree. Completely unacceptable even if intended as "light-hearted." nomorenomore08 Sep 2013 #23

Certainly, anger is a justifiable reaction to the story in that OP. No question. Warren DeMontague Sep 2013 #26

I've noticed a shift. lumberjack_jeff Oct 2013 #36

There are people here who want to eliminate this group.... ProudToBeBlueInRhody Oct 2013 #37

Some folks look for answers, others look for fights. Warren DeMontague Oct 2013 #38

I'd add to that, but try as I might, I can't think of a fitting noun that rhymes with "socks". lumberjack_jeff Oct 2013 #40

How about "crocks"? RiffRandell Oct 2013 #46

Heh. +1 lumberjack_jeff Oct 2013 #47
