I would also say that Girls of thread does not make it family friendly so why has that continued?  The truth is this has been a guys locker room pretty much from inception.  If we are shifting then some wholesale changes need to be made. And in defense of the bad post about new female members it seemed like they were bots because there were successive profiles made in a matter of days. Who are we?

Yeah it just seemed weird that people were joining all of a sudden and they were all using a name as opposed to a handle. Not excusing what happened but it was out of the norm.  

When people use the Facebook integration to join, it uses their Facebook "handle" which is usually their name.

Ahh...ok. I am not a FB user so I did not know that. Ok, that makes since.

The Girls of thread has boundaries too, and when those have been unnecessarily pushed into the  shock zone, action was taken.

I also pay to advertise on Facebook, Twitter and Google Advertising.  So it kind of sucks when Bulls fans come here and are greeted poorly, to say the least.  It's like we ask them to join our community then was act like morons.  Makes no sense.

Whatever happened here totally flew over my head. Glad I’m ignorant. 

I think this place is quite tame and polite. 

Thank you Brad.

Ok, I really have to start reading the Welcome Threads apparently.
 

Like another said hopefully he just needs a break and after a few months he starts to miss this plays. I’ve definitely taken my share of breaks from this forum over the decade. Probably the longest was when I kept telling people to give Tags and Flowers time. There were some nasty threads back then. I wonder if that one guy ever named his kid B.E.T.O and walked what ever distance he was going to walk.

I think the line was crossed when someone found a police record on the individual (or at least the name). For me, I don’t really care, if it bothered me I would just move on or make a statement about why it’s wrong without leaving the board. But everyone is different in that regards. If he knew this individual then that is a different story. 

Agreed. That mugshot post is what I meant by going over the line as well

The new member of that thread had a usf.edu email. Mike may have known her ...

That crossed my mind as well

I liken our discussions to locker room talk that at times may cross the line but that is what men do.

Counterpoint: It isn’t.
