I'm seriously considering leaving the Org for good

Okay, a guy like thechronic posts all these mysoginistic statements on here about how women are just here to please him, but if I fire back a statement to put a pin in his inflated ego, my post gets deleted? Hey, how about you moderators start deleting his threads about how men are so superior to women? Oh wait, that might hurt his feelings.

This isn't the first time this has happened to me, but I must say I'm getting sick of it. It seems that if you "flame" an Orger for making sexist statements, YOU are the one in the wrong. The one who made his chauvenistic comments in the first place is allowed to do whatever he wants. This may be the last straw for me. I've been a regular on here for a long time, and I rarely make nasty comments about other Orgers. It is only when someone goes out of their way to hurt people's feelings that I take a stand (and even then, I try to do it in a humorous way). Apparently, taking a stand is to be punished. I've really enjoyed getting to know many of you, and I've always had a lot of fun discussing various topics with you guys. Unfortunately, I just don't think I can take this lying down. I will definitely be taking a break, and in time I might come back. I'll just have to see what the atmosphere is like around here.

I dont think he is a mocking him..I think he is trying to make something bad into something humorous to make Jedi stay and think about it after relaxing etc

Jedi brings up a good point.

Isn't it odd that someone like theChronic can spew whatever kinda BS he wants to without consequence...but if anyone tries to stand up to him, they get snipped???

That does not seem right :confused:

thechronic has gotten on my nerves and taken shots at me.
The one thing i can say about him is he is just effin around. He puts it out there strictly for your responce.
Look at his replys, you can almost see him laughing as he post it. I think the moderators see the sillyness of his threads and figures he has no malicious intent.

How about you report the issues instead of just bitching about our inaction? We don't get to read each and every post on this site, so if you spot an offensive post the correct action is to use the "report msg to moderator" facility.

If you haven't reported it, you hardly have just cause to complain about moderator inaction.

It's easy to sit on the sidelines and complain and say "you should run the site better". If you want the site to be run better, you are free to help run it better by reporting offensive posts in the usual manner.

This thread is off-topic for this forum so I am locking it.
