In light of MNHQ's recent statement that the feminism section is in fact not a feminism section but a section 'about' feminism, perhaps we need to be warning people about this up front?

I'm of the opinion that it needs to made clear that whilst the title may be 'feminism/women's rights', this section is quite different to other boards that deal with feminism/women's rights.

It isn't fair to mislead - lots of posters expect the section to be a place where feminist views can be freely explored without fear of posters' mental health being questioned, and a zone where misogyny is unwelcome. In reality, pretty much anything goes here and whilst it is, of course, MNHQ's prerogative to run their site as they see fit, some sort of disclaimer about the section seems only fair in order to forewarn posters (especially posters looking for support or exploration of sensitive issues).

Perhaps it would be an idea for there to be a header at the top of the section stating MNHQ's position?

All suggestions welcomed .

Yep. Banned.

And most unfairly.

Pore ol Bob has been fucked over by everyone.

I am going to start a Bring Back Bob campaign.

phew wg! i still have a lose grip on reality perception

Not really surprised. The poster who was grading rapes.

Why was MsCellophane's post deleted?!

Does anyone have the faintest idea what's going on?

At all?

Lenin - so Bob isn't a troll?

If we do "Bring Bob Back"... Do we need to?... Could we have a word wiith him about his use of misogyny at misandry101?

And no, I wouldn't say he's been fucked over by everyone... But then I stopped paying attention.

Why was I deleted??

Um, I am no wiser...

EP? EasternBob?

dunno mscellophane but i'm guessing the post saying it's fine to issue death threats to a woman in real life if she says things you don't like on the internet is still standing.

Well, we had an EasternPhoebe on here the other day (very rape apologetic) so, I'm guessing Bob name changed, so we didn't notice he was still posting after he said he'd left... Or something like that.

DontCallMe

Bob got hounded off here for being a "troll"

He was bullied (no other word for it) to the point where you could see his psyche disintegrating

His name was used and abused on the misandry site

I'd say he was pretty much fucked over by everyone.

I pointed out he might have been banned unfairly by reporting my post - looks like anything reported is just deleted and not read

How does that help anyone?

What post was deleted?

It matters, Lenin.

It matters when people are treated unfairly. Another drop of bad feeling in the world.

It's been reinstated - that was quick!

It was obvious that EP was Bob - we all knew.

I have neither reported my post linking to the BobsBanana thing nor communicated it by email to MNHQ.

I don't know that they are even aware of any of this unless they are reading the thread?

Hully, he also did more than his fair share of derailing. Which is why I ended up turning a deaf ear to him, and why a lot of posters took objection to him, from what I remember
