Men’s Rights attorney Roy Den Hollander accused of shooting a federal judge’s husband and son

@Redsilkphoenix:

I don’t remember where I saw it and can’t find it anymore, but an article I read suggested that the plastic face shields aren’t hugely successful on their own, but that wearing one as well as a cloth mask does make for a better outcome and may be recommended for those who have to meet a lot of people (one of the supermarkets here has their cashiers wear both) or are particularly vulnerable.

What is that in reference to? You don’t quote anything, and the person you atted hasn’t posted anything on this page. Most likely you atted the wrong person or posted it to the wrong thread, but the meaning would still get across OK if you’d at least quoted what you were responding to. My own habit is to quote if I’m referring to any post other than the one immediately preceding mine.

Oh, check out the list of terrible, terrible “girl jokes” he posted on his website. Some un- highhlights:

“Clubs can’t call their waitresses bunnies or other furry animal names.”
“Can’t hate that which you lust after.”
“Give feminists a taste of their own medicine, hand back that poison apple; see how they like it.”
Also, the page-long joke with no punchline about being seen by a hot nurse.

Damn.

Those are just sad.

@Naglfar, Schnookums

I’m going to confess here that I was surprised both of you apologised, as good faith misunderstandings do happen and I didn’t think it was a big issue. Then I thought, if I misunderstood someone in a personal conversation, I would of course apologise to their face and the conversation would continue on, that’s the natural flow of speaking. Am I just too used to impoliteness on the internet that you guys treating me like a regular person sticks out to me? Well regardless, thank you for promoting internet good manners!

Umm, I did get the meaning though… and Schnookums @’d me? I could raise this question myself if I was confused, just saying. I don’t think it’s an issue for me, especially since, as evidenced above, I often @ people without quoting myself.

I always hit “back” and then “reload” after posting a comment. Normally the comment is there, even if it wasn’t before the “back”-“reload”.

Regardless of the underlying cause, my comments being held for any length of time causes significant inconvenience, since I have to hover by the computer frequently refreshing the page until it shows up and am constrained in other ways out of caution. Until the comment shows up I have to keep a local copy safe, in case it has completely failed and I have to repost it. So I copy it into the clipboard (which I then can’t use for anything else until it appears, or I decide it needs another attempt) and must not navigate the browser tab (so it’s still in the input box to resend if need be). 2 copies, one in clipboard and one in browser.

Can’t just leave it unattended to do something else; if the comment has actually failed to go through for any reason, and something else also goes wrong (power cut, browser or OS crash, etc.), then it would be lost completely and I’d have to rewrite it from scratch.

So any substantial delay before a comment gets accepted ties the user down to a significant degree until then: can’t go out or do other things, can’t copy and paste other things, can’t move on to other WHTM threads or whatever in that browser tab, not without risking permanent data loss.

This, in turn, means that such delays should be avoided except where absolutely necessary: with a new user, who might be a spammer or similarly, or with a troll or someone who’s “on probation” for sometimes making problematic comments.

Right now, such delays are not being restricted to only those two conditions, and worse seem to be inflicted arbitrarily and capriciously on many, if not all, of the regulars in good standing. I have also seen complaints that some regulars get moderated any time they post links and that yet others do all of the time, as if David has subjected them to a probation, without him apparently having actually done so.

All of these things indicate that even “whitelisted” users’ posts are being subjected to some kind of filtering, and that this filtering even applies different standards to different people in a manner that, again, seems capricious and arbitrary. None of that seems fair or justified.

@Surplus
I don’t know what to tell you, bud. The back end of the website is managed by WordPress and none of us or David can fix it. I think this is just something you’ll have to deal with if you want to keep commenting here.

If you believe that your comment is so important that you cannot abide the risk that it may not be seen, then you could always save the comment to notepad or some other word processing software. That way it’s not taking up your clipboard, and you can go off and attend to other things without fear of losing your comment because even if the power goes out or something, you’ll still have it saved to your hard drive, or the cloud, or wherever. If you’re worried about using up too much memory or something with hundreds of word files, you could just use one file for it, and keep pasting over the older comments that have already appeared.

Instead of hovering over the comments page, you could hit post and go do something else for 15 minutes. By then, everything should have cleared itself up. This isn’t an instant messenger or a discord server; I don’t think you’ll miss anything important by not seeing the new comments immediately as they are made.

I find that the anonymity of the internet makes people forget manners sometimes. Though since this blog has a good community I try my best to be polite to fellow commenters.

Re: comments
The only time I put mine in a notepad application is when I’m on my phone and have a poor connection so my comment might not submit the first time, so I can paste it in again and try again.

I’m actually surprised he’s the first. The site’s been around for years, and given the type of people it attracts I’m surprised there weren’t other murderers published there in the past.

What? AVFM (from I’ve read of it) is high on bombast and posturing but that doesn’t make it an incubator for real-world violence, at least not to any significant degree. The distinction is pretty easy to grasp, frankly.

This is a site that regularly published articles about “bash a violent bitch month” and advocated beating women. This can easily promote IRL violence. I don’t know why you’re defending them.

One time after my abuser dislocated my jaw he tried to convince me that he didn’t use enough force to dislocate my jaw if I had normal joint and bone strength. So really it was my body just being week and I shouldn’t be so mad that his actions lead to the dislocation because a “normal” woman would be able to take it. So this guy is basically like that. Their actions don’t “really” hurt people. They don’t really inspire violence. Other people are just week. Their not that hard to grasp because all abuser basically think and work the same, Same as mottie boy over here.

@Naglfar

I am, and I always saw it as a kind of like “I didn’t hit you that hard, your just sensitive” type thing.

My joints do get dislocated a lot easier then others would. And I’ve dislocated my jaw just by doing normal things that weren’t abusive, like oral sex and yawning to hard. It’s not fun.
