I take an issue with your statement that eridu is "a member of the community". There are plenty of radical feminism communities, this is NOT one of them.
S/he is NOT required to visit this place every day for six hours, like you were in high school, so there are no parallels whatsoever with your unfortunate experience. S/he can happily stay among his/her man-hating online groups instead of proselytizing his/her vile message here.
This person's radical feminist posts make this forum a worse place by lowering the overall sanity of it, as has been commented on before. Rejecting this disease by silently downvoting his/her every post (and every reply) is the sane thing to do, short of banning him/her outright.
I downvoted plenty of eridu's posts, but I also upvoted a minority of them, because they actually taught me something about radical feminism (starting with the fact that it apparently exists in earnest, and is not a straw-woman argument created to discredit other kinds of feminism). Am I ever going to apply this knowledge in practice ? Probably not, but knowledge is still neat, and a good thing to have.
Yes, I also clicked on eridu's link the first time (and I did not downvote that post), but his/her subsequent comments had no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
I take “the community” in ArisKataris's post to refer to the set of people who write here regularly. But yeah, a narrower meaning (e.g. people with non-negligible positive karma) would be more useful.
That would probably cover 99% of the regulars, not an overly restrictive definition.
But it would exclude eridu, that's the point.
If you're going to hate on a person rather than individual posts, a) don't and b) read enough to get his pronoun right.
Fixed, thanks.
