Is this how you treat women in real life too?

Pretty disappointed with how this thread has gone. And you all wonder why we don't have any girls posting here.
Just for clarity's sake, I don't really think anyone wonders why women rarely post here. It's pretty evident that with all the E peen in here, testosterone poisoning is at epidemic levels. However, it is a LOT less than it was 7 or 8 years ago, believe me.
The shitty part is when the admins tried to "clean up" R3V, it failed. People whined and bitched like you would not believe. This forum was built by (mostly) teenaged boys under the control of Jordan, it's beloved original tyrant. The misogynistic aspect of the culture that developed was the least of the worries, especially before the "Politics and Religion" section was formed. R3V has been through several changes as its core members aged, but ultimately, the same attitudes prevail. The adults watch the kids play, and step in to shut them down if it gets too far out of hand.
There have been some issues in which real people have been hurt in real life by this forum's members, so the admins here have very loose controls, but still adequately managed to prevent issues like those in the past. Believe me, it's not an easy job, which is why James clearly states that this is not a democracy...it's R3V.

Now, that said harassment outside of r3v, or on r3v via personal channels would be inappropriate (pm's, or emails..ect.). R3v and the internet is a public forum where you can choose to participate publicly, or privately. It was her choice to make it known publicly that she was a woman, and she seems to have defended herself well. She was even forewarned against such decision and she made a rational choice to move forward anyway.

Originally posted by ST1G View PostR3v is full of people treating each other like imbeciles. It's only different because instead of it being about a modification to a car, or stupid decision, it's about her gender. This behavior is no different than the rest of the internet. She can choose to participate or not participate just as well as a man can. She does not need special protections from this just because she is a woman.

public or not, why can 't we hold ourselves to a higher standard as enthusiasts? gender shouldn't have anything to do with someones response if we are being civil with each other.sigpic

Yep, it never fails. Been around here for 10 years now and it always ends the same - a few immature jack asses (you know who you are) can't seem to handle the presence of a girl.
It's a shame, she's a real enthusiast with one of the cleanest 318is on here. I was looking forward to seeing how that steering wheel turned out.
