It's utterly unreasonable to drive people over from Twitter to FWR, and then expect women to sit around smiling sweetly while posters arrive to grab themselves a screen shot or two. As admitted by said poster! Utterly unreasonable. It's contemptuous of MN towards women. FWR has been spammed over the last 15 hrs by posters completely uninterested in women's rights. Except to demolish them.
This about sums up what I think about most of yesterday's redundant threads. I think the women on here have been exceptionally restrained and polite in the face of some serious provocation. It is why I haven't engaged, I did, years ago and I saw that the restraint is invariably one sided, I'm tired now and I get grumpy
. While there may be some merit to reasonable discussion without engaging in insults etc. I think the good faith posting has to be on both sides and despite MN choosing to take things in 'good faith' I'm more skeptical (I do understand why MN does this and fair enough). I'm not sure there were many threads posted 'in the spirit' or in 'good faith' whatever those actually mean but if I was to say what spirit I thought they were posted in I would be accused of troll hunting so really there is no winning for women here. Apparently women have to just 'take it on the chin' with a 'stiff upper lip' remain 'in the spirit' and post in 'good faith' and you know, 'be kind' while being told they are wrong, their feminism is incorrect and doesn't include the entire world, they don't understand science (when they clearly do), must use the words they are told to while still being addressed by the words they have expressed discomfort with.
Ever since I first used this board many years ago it was always targeted by certain posters (like when prostitution gets discussed and a global klaxon goes off drawing in a marvelous assortment of new posters). Not much has changed except women have been given tighter restrictions on how they express themselves. Don't get me wrong I'm not having a go at the MN modding massive - this is a business and it has to protect itself and it has provided a large platform where controversial issue could be discussed if not freely, certainly more freely than many other similar forums and I will always be grateful to MN for that - especially all those years ago. I find it tiring now though - and that is on me. I have endless respect and admiration for those who engage daily with intelligent and informative discussion here. The women on the board are why I never really left entirely. I think yesterday and perhaps the rest of this week is going to be a slog so for all those posting well done, you deserve your hot drinks and Soreen slices (toasted or not or 'slightly heated in a microwave 
) Essentially I agree with BlackWaveComing on this. I think the modding has been a little over zealous although I suspect there are 'reasons' for this.
It really isn't unreasonable for women to strongly stand up for their own rights on a largely female orientated forum and especially on the feminist subsection of that forum and I think anyone coming over here expecting any less is naive or, dare I say, looking for ammo.
