Vermin in the Water: harassment

pink bullet

A female view

Red:

" Aside from the Smuckson Unpleasantness, we've never had anyone attack another member's orientation, race, creed, gender, class origins, etc. in public. This I see as a big accomplishment. Also, our FAQ makes it clear that we can and will bounce people who violate our ground rules, and then if it happens, we do it. I think that helps a lot, because I've been on lists that are too wussy about "censorship" to deal with assholes as they oughta be dealt with."

 

 

Marsha:

"...My tolerance for guys who thought that a relevant post was to comment on the size of Deanna Troi's breasts started low and went down to nothing...I kept finding myself drawn into flame wars with guys whose worst insults would center around my not being attractive because that was the worst thing they could say about "women like me." (This was a particularly stupid method of attack, of course, because they had no idea what any of our merry band looked like.)"
