Irony Alert: I got an alert & hide in the Hillary Clinton group for talking about the alert stalking

116. As is the primary contest in general IMHO (about race & also gender & orientation to some extent).

Of the 20 Hillary supporters who have received timeouts, how many are white straight males? Two?

I'm reminded of a quote from someone who came to a firm I was working at to talk about diversity that was along the lines of "If you don't actively take steps to be inclusive, you wind up being exclusive".

We've already lost most of our LGBT members. The LGBT forum is pretty dead. The various feminist forums are a shadow of what they once were. The Jewish group has very little traffic. I blame a number of things including the jury system.

The jury system is a tool for the majority to step on the minorities of all kinds. It's the very opposite of an effort to be inclusive. Whether the minority is African Americans, feminists, Jews, Hillary Supporters, whatever, the jury system will over time tend to silence them.

I think the admins are well intentioned but they don't see what is going on here. They are going to be left with a white straight male version of the Old Elm Tree, a site that you couldn't even mention here at one point by decree of the admins.
