33. I know. I'm at a loss on this stuff as to what to do.

Juries are inconsistent with posts like this, so I guess all we can do is post directly in the thread. I'm not sure whether that will work over time, but it seems like the best approach. Keep alerting and then, if the jury comes back without hiding the post, post in the thread itself and make the point. Ask the poster if he'd call his mother or sister that name. There are so many better words that can be used that have no sexism attached to them. Perhaps some people's vocabularies don't stretch very far.

BTW, did you check off the TOS option in your alert. If you always do that, some recent arrivals may get banned. Not always, but sometimes.
