I'm not sure you are seeing this clearly... I have always respected and liked you and I don't expect that to change. There are problems in this group. There are women who don't feel safe posting here. It has nothing to do with people coming into this group from "outside".
There are Women across the board not just from one cross section or another who are reporting this.

Honestly I hate the fact that this group has become a laughing stock across DU.

I can only tell you I have lurked here since the beginning and rarely posted because most of the time it didn't seem worth my effort. That's sad commentary. There are many here who I would like to know, many who have made me laugh and many I respect. But reread this thread and check out the number of lurkers reporting in..
