    This is a good suggestion and one that has been floated but never really materialized. In the current situation I felt this couldn't really wait and that someone needed to be used as an example.

    In the case of the reporter in the image I felt it worthwhile to subject them to being made an example of because it is the exact sort of mindset that has been an insidious problem and I have no remorse for subjecting them to whatever ridicule that may entail. It took me quite some time to come around on feminism and it didn't come about by people coddling me with kid gloves on the subject.

      Fair enough for this post, totally in agreement about no coddling. Deal with me harshly if I commit a gender-crime, I know it's the only way I will learn quickly enough.

      But then is the admin team thinking about setting up such a comm? I get the feeling this purge will be pretty large and is a great moment to get such a comm working well. The perfect trial period, I guess.
