There are actually even worse things you could say about blacks and the Jewish members that are even more oppressive - oppressive and attempts to intimidate just like the sexual crap you lay on me. These are some things that you would not get to get away with by laughing it off as a misunderstood joke. At least not after the first time.

Joann

Marshall's comments to Joann were inappropriate and I understand being her insulted by them. I am also sure she was trying to make a point with the above but YIKES. I think the point could have been made with far more tact.

sheeeeesh. i'm in the pork business. can we call him H1N1?

Sorry, Andy, you're right.

And to be clear about my last post: I do not in any way mean for it to come off as a criticism of Leon or his moderating. My intent is to try and illustrate my belief that a roomful of men will have a really difficult time understanding the hurt caused by H1N1's comments toward one of the only women who post on this board.

I would have never come back here.
