A note on the new sticky Hypocrisy
Ok, so there's a no tolerance policy on racist and anti-semetic comments, whether in jest or not, no matter the context.
Apparently, though, misogyny is fine.
Look I'm not for banning any of it. This the internet for eff's sake. But to say the first two are verboten, and the last (which makes up like 80 percent of the posts here) is ok is just downright hypocritical.
My vote would be to allow it all where its clearly lighthearted, and come down hard on people who are directing it at other posters or are way over the top on the obnoxiousnous meter.
But if we are going to come down on that kinda crap no matter what the context, how can you, with a straight face, not cut out the misogynistic crap? Of course, the forum, would die for lack of content, but hey, no sacrifice is to big in the name of political correctness eh?
