Ewok, is this the low standard you accept from a mod?

We are just human beings, people! It is the example of behaviors like this that keep perpetuating the (insert your identifiable group here) stereotypes.

i'm offended you stereotype people!

I don't see that as Brad mocking American women. I see that as Brad mocking certain female members of VJ who tend to be vigilant about misogyny in the RUB forum.

ok, we'll split the difference.

NO! Accept I am 100% right or suffer my wrath, woman

[Fandango 1,440]

Again, the poster made the point re: feminist v. realist. Would you like that member banned from VJ as well?

It reads to me that both the poster and Brad were speaking with tongue in cheek.

Truthfully, the forum in question is notorious for misogyny, so it's not at all the most offensive statement I've heard. But a mod shouldn't be adding to a heated discussion when the question was 'what makes a woman Americanized?' when the answers are from that particular poster were fat, ill dressed, refusing to maximize 'pretty quotient', then a mod comes in and says that her card's gonna be revoked for saying as such.

Granted, it's a sly comment, not one of the beat em over your head types, and I'd otherwise ignore it. But from a mod? No, they should hold themselves to a higher standard, and Brad hasn't. Which makes him a poor mod, imo.

Btw, I said nothing of banning anyone. But mods should set a higher example, and he hasn't.

Come on then *flexes*

Trust me I have been here a bit of time and I can say that Brad is not higher standard material.

He is a mod though and is human and from his postings I will say male and normal one at that. Maybe the solution to you is that we have only female mods here. That may be fine for you but what about the rest of us? It may be that time of month for one of them and their wrath is building. They get fired up and then we will have a bloodbath of bans. They may even come after the other females and then we will have a huge cat fight. The worst part will be that the men were banned and were not able to see the babes have a cat fight. It sucks that we can't see the hair pulls and shirt ripping and the bras yanked off.

If you have a problem with things people say, perhaps you're better off sending a pm, rather than posting it in a forum where they will only bother to look if they were woken up at 5am and can't fall back asleep.

this thread is about the low standard for mods and nothing more. He just happened to springboard off your comment, which is the only reason it's here.

Rarely have I given two +1s on the same VJ page, si man.

You have to hand it to the USSR, they're playing a tremendous end game. Who would have thought in the 1960's that all these conservative American guys would be paying to import Soviet women? We thought Regan was clever

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

What's the issue with that comment - it doesn't exactly jump out as a blatant attempt to offend or ridicule. Seems like a light-hearted joke to me.

Regardless, it's nowhere near the worst behaviour seen on here from a VJ mod. There's one who routinely gets away with baiting and flaming members they dislike.

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

Nope. 'lose her union card' to whom? The legion of fat, ill dressed, slobs that are American women?

Not from a mod, that is wrong.

American women are not fat, ill dressed and slobs. be careful what you say, my mother and sisters are American.

The phrase "See...I told you so" comes to mind.

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

By the same token, do American men lose their union card when they become physically fit and lose the beer gut and moobs? Something I will need to ponder........

Something I may never know. Or care about.

We in the RUB forum love our wives more than anyone else. We also have the lowest divorce rate of any regional subforum. Our wives are consistently the happiest, most secure, loved and cherished of any foreign wives.
