211. It really does--the same gaslighting and fostering of straw-men and half-truths

about what people thought and said in posts. This happens to many of the Feminist posters too. A zero tolerance policy against insensitivity and minimizing in the main forums might be tricky to craft, but I'll bet that several of us who are hosts of the forums devoted to oppressed groups could probably come up with some language and guidelines.

Unfortunately, I feel this would never happen at this website, since the concept that everyone is equal is the dominant philosophy. That some people are more equal than others in the structural function, whether in the mod system, or the jury system, has been a tricky case to make to the website's owners, for various reasons.

Or require 5-2 or 6-1 to hide.	SusanCalvin	Jul 2015	#217
Why would the jury system need oversight if its random and anonymous??	cstanleytech	Jul 2015	#294

I was just trying to help you out.	bravenak	Jul 2015	#254
But it is ok to do the same to Bernie supporters	Duckhunter935	Jul 2015	#256
No. I still don't see that post.	bravenak	Jul 2015	#257
Like I said, the one I responded to	Duckhunter935	Jul 2015	#264

Doesn't this have a familiar stench in your opinion?	Behind the Aegis	Jul 2015	#204

Over the flame bait threads? nt	Gore1FL	Jul 2015	#137
How was it flame bait?	DemocratSinceBirth	Jul 2015	#167
I saw a flamebait thread yesterday attacking sanders.	Gore1FL	Jul 2015	#220
He was referring to the homogeneity of a candidate's audiences.	DemocratSinceBirth	Jul 2015	#221
The manner in which it was presented was flame bait.	Gore1FL	Jul 2015	#223
Precisely, the homogeneity of the audience reflected the homogeneity of the city where it was held.	DemocratSinceBirth	Jul 2015	#225
So it is Sander's fault that Portland ME has a lot of white people	Gore1FL	Jul 2015	#226
The poster was speaking to his choice of venues	DemocratSinceBirth	Jul 2015	#230
Large venues, to be sure.... Perhaps I missed something in the text; let's look!	Gore1FL	Jul 2015	#277
He's a voter and he wants the senator to address the issues of his community on his terms.	DemocratSinceBirth	Jul 2015	#278
