(57,775 posts)That Intaglio participates in the feminists forum more than he does in HOF. This game being played is to attribute to a few HOF posters every shitty thing that goes on around here. You'll note the poster above accuses the members on leave with a statement a non-suspended member made. She then goes on to be friendly to the poster who actually made that statement while continuing the blame the suspended members, one of whom she has called out and trashed repeatedly, as the links I provide in another post in this thread demonstrate.
The "attacking women" canard is most often made by those who go for the jugular of feminists who view the world differently from them. They use the excuse of someone attacking them once a year or more ago. People need to get over it. If someone is so troubling to them, they can put them on ignore, but that means they should simply forget they exist rather than nurturing grudges.
I also find it bizarre that some seem to think women unable to defend themselves. I've been accused of "attacking women" for asking them to clarify their views. I don't know if these are people who are unable to deal with differences of opinion or they just invoke empty charges because they have nothing to say. Regardless, it's strange. You yourself can witness my "attacks" at the top of this subthread.
Again, I will state that it is clear to me that this is all about creating gang-like identities: us vs. them. Attack the right people, talk shit about the right people, make up shit about the right people, and you're in the in crowd. It's ugly and there is nothing civil about it. That an opinion is popular does not make it right or just.
