It is no longer a peeve thread. I'm sorry if you don't like my opinion but I'm allowed to have one. Peeve: if everyone would have just AR'd and moved on we wouldn't have had to have new forum rules. Yes, we would have as nothing was being done even with such actions (reports placed). Considering the thread is a catch bin for peeves and their discussions ... I'd say there's not much wrong over the last page or so. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are not "shaming" them for acting in a masculine manner. They are just calling out the toxic qualities of masculinity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is their invention (at least they claim that here) But other brands make the pads and coffee machines too now a days. But it is the same as with the word fridge in the USA where the brand name became a general used name in NL. This is the machine type I use. One can make a traditional pot of filter coffee with it too: For the two fisted coffee drinker? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean being trans male to female, I was raised by a dad who expressed his emotions and told me that expressing my emotions was healthy. Heck, he would ask me if I was okay, and if I said yes. I would get that look, and him saying are you being honest? And then the water works would come and I would just bare all. When my dad was dealing with cancer and was scared of dying. He came to me and cried on my shoulders. I told him that I understand that he is scared, but I will be there with him through out. So I never had a male figure who was ever void of emotions in my life. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't really relate and understand. As I didn't live in an environment, where I had to be void of emotions to be strong. So seeing other dads as a kid, who basically were void of emotions. It was a weird experience for me. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, Sam. It was not directed at you, but a general peeve. You just reminded me of a peeve that was bugging me last week. No intent to single anyone out.

Sammy Huntsman Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Biggest pet peeve, so my male alt is literally subscribed to one thing. Just one thing!!! And somehow I was added to Swank Events list on my male alt. Event runners need to stop pushing this sort of spam on us, without our consent. I don't know about your event, I Idon't care to know about your event now. And I mean I now know about your event, and don't care or want to go to your dang event. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaerolleClaudel Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 On 9/21/2022 at 6:22 AM, Sid Nagy said: The rules of moderation are simply to tight at the moment to keep the forums flourishing in the long term. A General Discussion where discussion is really general, is so important to keep any forums going. LL wants the forums to be/become a for them inexpensive customers support. People come with their problems, we deal with it. But that is not how forums work. So more and more regular members simply will vanish over the months to come IMHO. If I would come here only to do customer questions, like LL wants it to be, I would apply for any call center job and make a buck or two with it. Very little excitement left on these pages. I like a lot off people here, but no longer the environment. And yes, that is a peeve. A big one. It makes me too often grumpy and sarcastic when I post here lately. The SL Forums becoming more bowlderized???? Wow, never would have expected *that*!!! 🙄 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
