In reply to the discussion: Why I joined the Feminist group. [View all]Remember Me
(1,532 posts)11. I'm going to be honest with you
Fist, I'm really sorry that you've come in this place in this time and encountered that.
BUT, Gormy Cuss is, IMO, overly optimistic.
This place is under seige -- not just attack, but seige. If you have the stomach for it, it would be extremely instructive and potentially useful to observe and watch carefully (and of course try not to get drawn in).
That's not to say that you can't post, or that I'm discouraging you from posting or participating elsewise -- not atall -- just that it's a mess, and it's going to stay a mess probably until something tips the balance.
Again, sorry for our mess, but some people here are trying to put us under construction.
