I am absolutely for real and I live right here in Whangarei. I believe that you can't see how Couta1's original comment is sexist and disrespectful. I don't know whether the CEO's name would have been made fun of if she were a man (I suspect not), but linking a jibe about the name with the appellation "woman" was a sexist putdown.
Similarly, the admonition "Harden up snowflakes" isn't sexist, but it is a putdown. And I think that is important because here in NZ, there is a very clear connection between our propensity for "innocent" jibes and putdowns, and a whole raft of social ills.
Over 40 years of clinical experience I have come to understand that there is a slippery slope between sexist and disrespectful comments and grossly abusive language, yelling, pushing and shoving, and (ultimately) bruises and blood. And that is why I call disrespectful postings when I see them and will continue to do so
I remember when it was disclosed the DD had sold a few (far from a majority) of his PEB shares in the mid $1's back in the glory days for a what I think wasn't even a hundred thousand (to build a deck if I recall correctly?) it was meet with swift and intense criticism on the forum.
But "this time is different" so no worries.
Seeing as you're only made 80 posts in 4 years I'll opine on this and its meant in a positive spirit.. Appreciate your perspective but its STMOD's job to handle that sort of thing. If you're deeply offended or feel a post is in breech of the terms and conditions of this site then by all means report it but I reckon from years of experience its often way better to grow a thicker skin and understand that some people will get really frustrated from time to time, its just part of being a participant in the market. I think its best some have a cup of tea and a wee nap and everyone keeps calm.
