Thank God for Contacts.

Also, I'm not an expert on murderers, but most of the big ones I can think of off the top of my head, didn't wear glasses. Except Dahmer, who had some exceptionally bad glasses IIRC, even for the late 80s.

Tue Apr 1, 2014, 05:19 PM

The poster discussed in the OP of this thread, and any similar low count poster whose account requires review, falls within the purview of the MIRT.

You are claiming that such people posting misogynist viewpoints are given more leeway to do so than others. I KNOW that wasn't the case when I served, and I remember you serving at the same time IIRC, so you saw the same cases I did. IF you truly believe that MIRT is in fact allowing blatant misogyny to stand on DU then I say, vehemently, I disagree. You could try bringing it up in the ATA forum if you like.
