Steering clear of women is the best financial decision a man can make.
I certainly hope you steer clear of women.

Um, if he is a nice loving alpha male (the qualities are by no means mutually exclusive), why not?

The idea that alpha = nasty, selfish and unloved does not chime with my observations at all.
Because it's a man's job to love and the woman's job to receive love. That's just the order of nature. When he's king of the mountain it's winner take all. When he is dethroned and toppled he's forgotten and falls back into obscurity. It's how we're wired by evolution. Women do not have a sex drive and they're more picky. They rarely chase men. And until someone who is good enough to them shows an interest, they'll choose being single.
I actually screenshot this post for posterity because it’s so incredible. Thank you. : )

The technical function aspect is only part of what I discussed. I could have administered exactly the same warning through the PM function. Under your application of the rule, I could censor all criticism of warnings and banning simply by choosing which method I use.

To elaborate: an important part of applying the spirit of the rule is considering context. What is the context? UR 3 is completely silent about moderator communications or actions. The rule set is minimal in terms of content based restrictions. Criticism of moderator actions has been specifically ruled "on topic" in threads where moderation action has been taken or someone thinks moderation has not been taken. The moderation philosophy of the board is intended to be less heavy handed than that in MDDB and other forums. Part of the job description of the moderator position is to be subject to criticism by the user base.

Applying UR 3 to moderator actions would be antithetical to almost every significant facet of the board's general philosophy and practice. If I did that, I would not be complying with the spirit of the law.

Among its incredible aspects, It's a perfect example of "tell me you don't understand the naturalistic fallacy without using the words "naturalistic fallacy."

I had to laugh at wearing a suit is considered more attractive than say wearing a prison jumpsuit.

1. I am not a huge fan of Dr. Grande.

2. I have criticized him for including offhand jokes about murder cases.

3. Leave my screen name OUT of your thread titles.

4. Stop using my screen name in an effort to legitimize your trash posting and/or bait me.

5. You're on ignore and will stay there until and unless you stop your creepy postings.

Therefore, a lot of women will remain single forever and will never have kids. I don't think women should be too picky in their 20s.
What's wrong with a woman remaining single forever and never having kids if that's what she chooses?
