Much to the dismay of the thou-shalt-get-no-jollies gang.

1. I see you got the dreaded thumbs down..

from the jury in the other similar thread. Looks like members of the "thou-shalt-get-no-jollies gang" are trollling around looking for opposing opinions to alert on..

Sometimes I really miss DU2..

2. I hear ya. But, it is what it is.

Like I said, I'd be extremely interested to see what specific parts of the hidden post those 4 jurors believe constituted "misogyny", particularly since there's not a single word in there about women, anywhere.

But, that's H/M territory. The whole "Unacceptable Jury Decision" thread thing is so overdone, there, though, I may just not bother.

3. DU3 has some helpful features. I recommend making use of the jury blacklist.

"my account" > "jury blacklist"

4. Heh, heh.

Are you kidding, Jeff? That was like the first thing I did when I came over here...

Although since some of the more egregious sock puppet accounts have been cleared out, I may need to update the list. That's the thing that pisses me off- the people here who pretend to be like 20 people or more, so they have other "people" to agree with their decidedly minority views. And, they can game the jury system that way, too.

5. Sock puppet accounts?

the people here who pretend to be like 20 people or more, so they have other "people" to agree with their decidedly minority views.

People really do that?

How pathetic. Don't they have lives?

[Warren DeMontague]

6. Yeah, lots of them.

Lots and lots and lots and lots.

Guess you missed this piece of fun, a month or two ago...

7. It must be frustrating to feel entitled yet totally unable to stop something

That 99%, or more, of men indulge in.

I can only imagine how maddening it must be to wish for that level of control and not be able to exercise it. As I've said elsewhere, i suspect it can be traced back to hard wired primte impulses developed in small hunter gatherer bands.

8. Maybe that's why some people build ships in bottles.... or put on one person puppet shows

"pretend you're god, for just a little while!"
