When she condemns other contributors like @TheCasillas for being "idiots" I can absolutely blame her. Especially when he's trying to have a constructive conversation. Subject matter doesn't excuse emotional behavior.

they are in fact part of the problem when they do this IMHO

not good enough

It doesn't have to be good enough for you. Everyone has a right to their opinion as long as it is presently civilly. I am just wondering what you expected to happen. If you want sympathy and outrage appear on the View. On a football forum this was actually.pretty tame

I can understand why she’s being hostile. If I was a woman on this board, I’d be hostile as well. Also, when feeling ignored and feeling like the issues that you’re bringing forth aren’t being taken seriously, I can understand how that would breed hostility as well.

Just because you understand it doesn't mean it's going to help her reach other people who are less forgiving. If you want your thread and beliefs to be taken seriously you need to keep it together and have a real discussion. I understand her frustration as well but I'm not going to try to have a real discussion with someone who refuses to play nice. That's lunacy.

I'm not saying the Huddle doesn't have its trolls and jackassess but I don't believe it's a large group of contributors.  Like I said they just shout louder for attention.

it's a significant portion of the regular posters as evidenced by almost every remotely political thread on the main board getting torpedoed into the tinderbox (Kaep, Greg Hardy DV in 2014, Michael Bennett).

there's a reason the vast majority of this forums contributors are men, and its not just because NFL fans are majority male.

then maybe us contributors who aren't trolls and jackasses should take on some of the burden of calling out the bull**** for what it is, instead of leaving it to the one or two self-identified women in this thread to deal with. again.

I think someone said in this thread "know you audience" and calling your audience "idiots" will not work in your favor. Most likely the catalyst of escalation. 

the catalyst of escalation was that a woman posted an opinion that had the slightest tinge of controversy in a forum where so many male posters can't handle that sort of thing. it was escalated long before she used the word 'idiot'.

Attacking people with differing opinions.

I was attacking the idiots who didn't come in here to have a civilized discussion. Have you even read this thread? Your post on the first page is ridiculous as well.

Its some real "Gronkowski" type responses in this thread. Dont see how people clown that guy when he is just a well known representation of everyone else.

@vorbis this doesn't help your argument.

My initial post was in response to your sensationalist headline and bolded statement. My true feelings on the subject have been realized and I apologize if you found my OP ridiculous or condescending.

its like people beating on their TV or their remote when something is wrong with it and get frustrated and confused as to how its now even more broke

I am assuming you read my original comment? Are you stating that you believe the OP replied correctly to me on a equal sided acknowledgment that did not indicate any type of social injustice or workplace inequality?

It's not my responsibility to white knight and argue for people who cant hold their own. I am here to give my opinion. But sure...
