I knew that he/she Texasgal Jun 2012 #128

I was actually commenting to RC DURHAM D Jun 2012 #130

No one here wants the meta battleground in here. If you bothered to take any time... hlthe2b Jun 2012 #60

I have nothing bad or 'derisive' to say about this group. The Doctor. Jun 2012 #64

Nope, we don't as long as it's done respectfully boston bean Jun 2012 #88

So, it's okay to post accusations, The Doctor. Jun 2012 #91

Then quit whining about this thread being on the "greatest" page. n/t laconicsax Jun 2012 #95

Skinner just announced we can trashcan entire groups now (like this one.) LiberalLoner Jun 2012 #96

I sincerely doubt that any of the people who complain about us will trashcan this group. laconicsax Jun 2012 #105

+1. i was thinking the same. nt seabeyond Jun 2012 #106

LOL! I just thought trashcanning us would be the ultimate way of silencing our voices is all. LiberalLoner Jun 2012 #108

hell we're to interesting for that! boston bean Jun 2012 #109

a lot of people that have no interest in feminism seabeyond Jun 2012 #110

I don't feel safe or welcome in the main forums, as a woman. seabeyond Jun 2012 #38

Or posters who say they are women... DURHAM D Jun 2012 #44

This guys first post here was mocking Sea for saying sufrommich Jun 2012 #190

you are correct. it wouldnt take much to notice this. mobbing, is what it is called. but... seabeyond Jun 2012 #191

and a big deal is being made about which forums have how many users blocked, and Scout Jun 2012 #192

that would be an excellent example of mobbing. nt seabeyond Jun 2012 #193

whether hof has anyting to do with it or not, what is important is inject hof into the conflict seabeyond Jun 2012 #194
