....is the hosts are willing to engage the openly hostile within reason. Granted, it usually takes about three posts for the hostility to boil over beyond acceptable levels....but it's always refreshing that it doesn't degenerate into a mob of zombies swarming the live victim in seconds pile on that it would devolve into elsewhere. The Men's Group is civil, and sadly, I think that's part of the problem for some of the hating outsiders. Their full frontal attacks aren't going to go anywhere.
