Reading between the lines, I see that this too is the fault of the modern day woman. Thank you Grendel for showing us the light. You're an invaluable asset to this beloved community.
He's just being a snarky, condescending prick. Apparently that's in line with Hubski's culture.
Part of Hubski's culture is that users are on the hook for the moderating of their experience. Handwaving isn't sufficient. Think someone never has anything worthwhile to say? Filter. Think someone is generally a dick but sometimes is interesting? Hush. Someone trolling your posts? Mute. Hush and filter are anonymous. They're easy to use. The intention is that they get used. They're not perfect, but making suggestions for the site is a popular past time here.Apparently that's in line with Hubski's culture.
Snarky pricks are free to snark, I'm free to call them out, and everyone else is free to ignore both.
Relax a little bit. Grendel is being a troll, I'm trolling him back a little bit. If he has a problem, he can call me out or pm me, and I'll gladly stop. If you take the time to look at his posts though, you'd see that he's being much more venemous than I am and his responses are often utterly inconducive to civil discourse. Me? I'm just being sarcastic and having a bit of fun.
Alright, I can see him looking a bit trollish with some messages. Mostly he seems to be doing good work though. We'll see.
It's actually a really great setup, especially for filtering out spam. The nice thing about it is that it's all of the moderation bits are reversable. That way if you just need a short break from someone, you can do so. Likewise, if someone does a 180 in behavior, you can change your settings to see them again.
If you look to Grendel's recent posting and commenting history, you will see that he trying to warn us of the ill intentions of both women and minorities. Reading this article with that subtext in mind, it becomes clear as day. We should all appreciate and praise Grendel for his brave attempts to show us the follies of our own conceited ways.
