I’ve noticed a very disturbing trend on the rise around here lately, it seems anytime someone says something less then glowing about one of the women they find themselves being attacked by another member. I don’t mean when someone is overtly rude, but makes an observation which then gets responded to with a snide comment, hostile response or personal attack. It’s really gotten me turned off in regards to this forum lately. It used to be a nice community where people could post and have a good time now it seems to be leaning towards one of those boards where only hardcore fetishists post and a big feeling of exclusion for new member who don’t post that often.
Good points. However, I’d say its still a “nice” community – a damned nice one, indeed. For example, have you looked at how they smack down ppl over at Unrealmuscle for departing from their orthodoxy? Or Siouxcountry, too? How about RX Muscle? I can vouch for the fact that they’re less then restrained when it come to expressing their opinions about a given subject or about each other.
Any member should be able to post in any thread regardless of how they feel about the subject. These uncalled for personal attacks need to stop. There is nothing wrong with a person expressing a divergent opinion as long as it is done so in a relatively polite manner.
This I strongly agree with – it’s starts w/ personal restraint, and is expressed as good manners. For example, if I don’t particularly care for/about a given subject/personality I don’t bother w/ commenting, or even click on the link.
