I haven't been around much lately, so I didn't witness a lot of the drama that took place after Mo left. I have heard bits and pieces and quite frankly, I am a little disappointed that grown adults can be so cruel toward each other when hiding behind a computer.
Having said that, I have noticed from glancing at the forum that things seem to be getting back to normal, so please do not assume that I am here to stir the pot.
I am not the designated spokesperson for the ladies of SBR, but as a neutral party who hasn't registered at EOG, I wanted to let some of you know why the other three ladies are not posting here as they have in the past (that seems to be the reason some of you vultures have treated them as carrion).
Nancy (Sportsgirl) has been a regularly posting member of this forum for two years now...but because she was having fun with a friend on another message board, she is now a slut, a whore, a traitor, etc and shunned by certain individuals whenever she posts in the threads.
I suppose I should play the devils advocate and say that the women should not be treated any differently than the men in regards to being on the receiving end of the torment. And you all have to admit that for the most part, the women have been pretty good sports. Right? Right.
I haven't followed any of the threads at EOG, but it has been made abundantly clear that the women are treated fairly and aren't egregiously picked on, but rather spoken to as if they were just another member of the message board. And from what I have been told, their posting behavior is not at all different from the manner in which they posted over here.
So there you have it. The other women, excluding myself, of course, did not follow Mo over there simply to abandon SBR. They have found that in posting over there, they obtain a much greater level of respect, even when talking about boobies and e-flirting with others (talk of which I have never been a big fan of).
Also, so that I make myself perfectly clear, it is my personal opinion that EOG has embraced the aforementioned ladies as a personal slap in the face to SBR. And what do some of you do? You prove their point by further driving the women away.
Congrats!
Robyn
