Please comment on the issues, not on the members posting here. Any references to other members being trouble-makers (using any sort of name-calling ie: "smells like somebody who lives under a bridge waiting for the Billy Goats Gruff" or the term from Star Trek about man/machine combinations) will be removed.

I disagree on one aspect. This poster is obviously a troll and I can't imagine why the CM's can't recognize it. When someone comes to a predominately female board and posts nothing but negative comments, degrading and vulgar names and hasn't added anything positive to other posts, I find it interesting you can't recognize that they are here to cause trouble.

I've come to the conclusion that women accept and allow abuse of other women who are considered sluts or promiscuous. They perpetuate misogyny and the abuse of women. It's amazing to me that on a women's channel, a poster can post about abusing women and feeling justified in doing it, and not get his hand slapped. It makes me sick.

Whether this poster is a troll or not, there are many men and women who feel this way....so troll or no troll, it doesn't matter.
