	(BTW, what is it about Nice White Guys who are all "basic decency is oppressive"? Today I had an argument where someone really said it's UNFAIR to have to call people what they ask to be called because it's THOUGHT POLICE!) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Most of them are bitter about their lack of success with women, so they've got a permanent chip on their shoulders? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That would make sense - this one also STILL argues that he "let me go" when I broke up with one boyfriend and then started dating another. Being that I had never had any interest in dating HIM, I'm not quite sure what he let go of, but.... (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Well, as we have seen, when you give a man ultimate power, the first thing he does is start handing out strange nick-names like Turd-Blossom, Brownie, and Speedy. Probably Nice Guys resent their inability to do this. (Reply to this)(Parent)

Because they made the Herculean effort of being nice to inferior beings and they're not getting showered with blowjobs and compliments for it.

I actually heard someone bragging once about how he took a female friend home after a party and didn't take advantage of her while she was falling-down drunk. He was so pleased with himself. I was like "Congratulations, dickface, you've achieved the bare minimum of human decency."

	That reminds me of Chris Rock's routine about people bragging about doing shit they're supposed to do. "Well, I ain't never been to jail!" "Dumbass, you supposed to stay out of jail!" (Reply to this)(Parent)

	When so much of a society is tailored to you, 1. you don't notice, because you haven't had to and 2. noticing is HARD WORK. People do not like hard work so much. The best people are willing to do the work anyway. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	You can add your own tags! They disappear at strange intervals, making me think he's removing them, BUT you can still add more if it looks bare to you. Not that I'm suggesting people do that, of course. Don't troll the wank, etc etc-- Oh wait, this isn't a wank comm. Are we still expected to refrain from taking part? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I would say don't get directly involved. On the other hand, I have made posts - as have several other people. But... I would still say don't get directly involved. I am not a Mod, and I do not play one for the purposes of this comment. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Re: UPDATE! melannen 2008-04-24 12:56 pm UTC (link)
	I would go with "Don't troll", but using a much looser definition of what Troll means than the official _w's do - i.e. only be an asshole if they started it, don't dogpile unless they're already being dogpiled by everyone else. But other mods should probably weigh in too, I don't think we came up with an actual policy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm the owner and only mod. It's better to make our own beautiful, liberating,tag suggestions here. I like "get off the cross we need the wood" myself. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I thought you, sashenka, and me were still working together on here? We're all still listed as maintainers, and I don't remember a discussion. But we haven't discussed anything for awhile; if you want to change things, e-mail me? But, yeah, if all people want to do is be snarky, they should probably keep it here.

	Oh, fucking meow. I checked the wrong comm. >.< I'm blaming the lack of caffeine intake. Myself, I don't care if people reply to the commentary posts, but the main post should be left alone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	melannen 2008-04-25 06:10 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I figured that must have been it after awhile. No worries. If you do want to stage a coup here, I don't actually mind (I haven't put half the effort into it that you have anyway) just let me know first please? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	If you do want to stage a coup here, I don't actually mind (I haven't put half the effort into it that you have anyway) just let me know first please? Not that ambitious. XD The comm's doing pretty well as is, all told. Looks like having a place to go "OH JOHN RINGO, NO!" over is a nice safety valve for folks. (Reply to this)(Parent)
