Should HA ban those who put down or insult girl members?

[STARTUP999]

Lately I have noticed some unprovoked insults directed at the girls who are on HA.

I don't mean the heated exchanges about hot button social topics like, "Brazilian boob jobs, a crisis in the transgender community?" "Which T-girl has the hottest ankles?" and "Inny or Outtie which TS belly buttons do it for you?" You know the stuff that matters.

I mean uncalled for, hurtful comments about a girls looks, esp. girls who make the effort to post their stuff here. My view is pretty obvious, but I am curious what the peanut gallery thinks.

If it's gratuitous or simply for the purpose of insulting then yes. If it's a critique and the person is stating a preference without any mal-intent, probably not. On the other hand, if somebody is so clumsy in offering a critique that they invariably insult the girls, then maybe so. It's hard to say categorically.

I think it is rude and crude to make such comments. However, the only way to improve things is to speak out. Over moderation is not good.

I feel that this board has a great balance of moderation. It does make it a bit rough and tumble but the alternate is worse.

I do wish that we elevate the discussions a bit that we don't trample feelings on a daily basis.

NO! People should be allowed to speak their mind, no matter how stupid. You just move on.

Gee, aren't you the white knight...

Ban the person when they provoke an attack.

This forum is built upon admiration, desire, worship of these unique women.

Probably 99% of the male gateway into this world is transgender porn. The girls through choices of their own or circumstances put upon them, means they put themselves out there to be judged as a "sexual item" or just to hear compliments but no more so than anyone else working in the sex industry or someone looking for validation & a confindence boost.

What annoys me, is the complete lack of appreciation of a transgender girl's journey to where she is & where she wants to be. Her insecurities & doubts are double if not quadruple that of the average individual.

Whether it's my up bringing, my age, my social interaction in the transgender community, I 've always realised these girls are prescious flowers that need care & attention, rather than being told or made to feel the worst.

Hey there is nothing wrong in whispering in the girls' ear "your a slut" as your fucking each other's brains out. Guys need to realise where the fantasy begins and ends & shouting that crap in reality or the cyber world, is completely uncool.

It just takes seconds to think before you speak, tough love does not exist in this trangender community.

So ban them & start a new forum where that element can congregate, let's see how many girls join that forum !

I selected 'Yes' on this subject. Constructive criticism is one thing, complete disrespect and bashing is quite another. The girls don't come her to be harassed. We've lost so many wonderful ladies to some of the crap that they've experienced while here. This should be a place where their comfort level is high.
