141. As a "non-offended feminist" (copyright pending - lol) --

Wed Jul 9, 2014, 01:35 PM

Jul 2014

I read some of the insults made by the "offended feminists" crowd, and they were hide-worthy rude (and some were hidden).

Some people like to get upset about other people being wrong on the internet. Some like to create drama. My participation in the event started with "what the heck happened" and my curiosity has now been satisfied.

Snide and snarky comments like yours make me smile; they attempt to minimize my opinion and invalidate my interpretation by attempting to mock and ridicule me and my views. It implies a lack of respect, and shows that being a woman doesn't protect one from those who embrace their inner "mean girl". I actually appreciate it, in a way. We need all kinds of people on the planet, and today I am blessed not to be playing your role.

How is whether you personally know who WCGreen is relevant? BainsBane Jul 2014 #62

The post I was replying to stated he had insulted WCGreen. IdaBriggs Jul 2014 #99

It appears the administrators disagree with your assessment BainsBane Jul 2014 #107

nonsense, many people asked him diplomatically to delete or apologize. you may never have seen it, bettyellen Jul 2014 #128

this wasn't the fault of "offended feminists". it was his own. PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #63

Ah, passive aggressive insults, aimed my way. IdaBriggs Jul 2014 #118

really?? PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #126

He also had a long history of disruptive .sig lines that Admin removed REP Jul 2014 #406

sexists also, if I recall correctly. bettyellen Jul 2014 #246

Oooh! Oooh! I know the answer to this one!!! IdaBriggs Jul 2014 #264

Looks that way to me. Funny how she ignored that thread. Autumn Jul 2014 #534

There was no discussion because a jury hid it before anyone could post on it. maddezmom Jul 2014 #525

Okay. Understood. Thanks. BainsBane Jul 2014 #533

I find it interesting there is no cave thread on this yet. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #315

Even if he is not a CC troll, abusing hosting privileges like he did Rex Jul 2014 #323
