The comments after that piece are so bloody infuriating! :angryfire:

Yeah I know.
I'm just about to reveal the 'winner' of the most ignorant comment of today.

Oh ffs...

Yep, the totally unfkingbelieveable... :shock:

Gosh, perhaps if we all ran around in burkhas, perhaps all rape would end *porcine aviation*

(thx to Twisty for the porcine aviation, it's just my absolute favourite)

I wanna join in there but the Guardian banned me for calling a man who told me to show him my "rack", a cock-end. That place is chock full of misogynists.

Consider getting secondary email addresses, specifically for (misogynistic) message boards. That way, if you get banned, re-register with another email addy. Most of these sites will keep you logged in (on your home PC).

I wonder if I'll get banned calling that one an idiot. I thought I was restrained from my normal stormy self.

I seem to be well on the way to getting banned.

Apparently one of my comments was flagged as offensive and deleted. Probably because I expressed the view that "some of the people on this thread have shown a rapist's mentality". (I did not specify whom I thought had this mentality)

One guy in particular was passive-aggressive, then later came back with "Girls c'mon help a fella out." to be divisive, and get women to attack other women whilst he stood back and watched.

So, that effectively shuts me up I guess.

I think it's two strikes and you are out (mind you they didn't even give me one warning before they banned me). Their talk policy says that they will not tolerate racism or sexism which is bollox because their forums are overrun with racists and sexists. They tolerate threads like "Are some women "asking" for rape?" As far as I can see the only sexism they recognise is someone saying "men are better than women", otherwise they are oblivious to it.

You could always try reporting some of the sexists though. I did that and got a few banned before they gave me the boot.

I was contemplating reporting some of them...

Two strikes - very dramatic.
I cannot see that a comment not specifically calling out an individual should be regarded as offensive.

Did you get any warning that any of your posts had been deleted? I haven't received any, but I also haven't bothered to check. It is also difficult as the site gives no clue that a comment has been deleted.
