Message: [QUOTE="jaundicedeye, post: 3847009, member: 8433"] Well articulated response to the OP. Thank you. Not sure why you chose to use "guilt trip (slight or otherwise)" or describe the OP's airing as a "dump" although I suspect it is probably due to its accuracy and deservedness. His was also a well-articulated and patient response to what he had been observing on the BY. I contend that one doesn't have to have "upstanding English, upper-crust reserve" to exercise civility. I also contend that the mods, who do a great job all around, can step up their vigilance and keep the abusive and personal accusations of "bust", "useless", "clueless" off the Board. Please revisit some the BY treatments of Saniya Chong and Natalie Butler as well as the current [I]targets[/I] and tell me they were/are not over-the-top. As far as your [I]out [/I]- "That is the world we inhabit and it ain't gonna change." That passing the buck really doesn't cut it when we are only talking about a medium (BY) that we most certainly can control. This Board, and all involved can do better. If the tone and manner of the rhetoric in the outside world continues to escalate/deteriorate does that mean it is the new norm and therefore acceptable for the BY? These are our young women. This is our team we have chosen to follow and support. [/QUOTE]
