You can't make a different thread Frumple.I'm pretty sure someone could manage it. The major problem with the ones I've seen on B12 were that they were either started by MRA types or rapidly infested by a few particularly shrill ones. Which, yeah, those get mocked, because they're imminently (and, to a degree, deservedly) mockable. Gender issues for the fellas is a topic of discussion that can be treated with dignity. It just tends to go poorly due to a few nitwits trying to play oppression olympics or something similarly ridiculous in regards to the subject.
Men's issues are mostly mocked.
the company's "full time PR manager" plays in the trash can instead of doing her job.Apropos of nothing, per se, but it's always kinda' amazed me someone taking a few minutes out of their day to play around is collated with not doing their job. It's just... the weirdness of it. A person sees probably less than 5/96th (five minutes of an eight hour day) of a single day and goes on to extrapolate that's representative of the other 89/96ths of every other day. Or even that one day. Or something along those lines. Bloody odd, and I guess one of the driving forces behind the royally screwed up views a lot of management type folks have about productivity.
Anyway, I think it's calm down time for rolepgeek. When you're setting up crude impressions of people who disagree with you and yelling in all caps maybe it's time to evaluate your frame of mind.Probably won't help, G. Most likely near-future occurrence is the thread getting locked and boss Toad giving go ahead for it to be recreated with an active OP. Nivim hasn't been active since february, and it's kinda' obvious th'thread could stand someone to ride herd on it when folks start shouting and directly attacking people. Things were getting more unstable than usual when UV came in, and m'fairly sure role has done most of what was necessary to sink it. RIP, incredibly inaccurate thread title.
