Demented is an understatement, don’t you think?

Many of those men, if they walk the talk they spout at sda and other anti-feminist blogs are a danger to women. The only barrier between the violence they threaten to do, and acting upon the impulses they describe is their fear of criminal charges.

Meh. I think I’ll skip the Comic Sans Beaver Freeper Awards this year again. I just don’t want to be anywhere near the same web page as the demented syncophants of SDA et al.

Glad to see they learned from last year’s fiasco.

I think deBeauxOs’s first solution, which was deleted from the CBA thread, was best. Create an Anti-Feminist category for them.

There are no progressive bloggers being nominated in the conservative category, or vice versa, because there is an alternative.

Nip it in the bud. That is the only way to maintain credibility. Once these loons get a foothold they will do everything to degrade the category while painting themselves as victims (their second favourite pastime).

Last year at the Fwords, there were several attempts by the wingnuts to nom their own idiots in order to stir something up. You never saw those noms, and that is the way to act responsibly and to keep the awards from becoming a disaster. Leaving this stuff until later is just a good way to start a war.
Negative vibes and hard feelings are all that will come of that. I realize that there is a short term memory for some bloggers….But I think many of us will recall what happened last year.

At the moment I blogged this post, the nominations were still visible in that category.

I'm sure dBo was just letting you know that we're watching.

Your title is premature. You don’t know who our judge(s) will accept to the category yet.
