lately some guys have been posting in 'devs only'. none of the posts have been remotely compelling enough to warrent such an intrusion. why would you post there? you've got a whole goddam board you can post on. stay out of where you're politely and reasonably asked to do so.
i don't necessarily accept a hardcore feminist worldview that sees Patriarchical Oppression of Women everywhere...but if men posting in a CLEARLY MARKED female only area is not an example of a male sense of entitlement of the worst sort, i don't know what is.

Tri, how would you know that guys are posting in 'Devs only' (Okay, that's a bit more obvious, but saying it to reinforce my 'point'), or whether those posts are compelling enough to warrant an intrusion?
I agree though, it is 'Devs Only' pretty damn simple to understand - KEEP OUT! (Though I don't think it is limited to gender; I presume male devs are theoretically invited as well...as it does not say Female Devs Only)

Not female only, but devs only. Our gay male devs are certainly welcome there as well.
I delete all wheeler posts in the area. Sometimes I catch them right away. Sometimes I'm out partying on a Saturday night.
My favorites are the ones that start with "I know I'm not supposed to be here, but..."
I've seen four of those. It's quite hilarious.

I know I myself have been guilty of this once (that I know of). I had no intention of posting in the "Devs Only" section, but since I read the threads through the "10 Most Recent Posts" link and then link from there to reply, I had no idea what section the post was in. E quite correctly deleted my post promptly and notified me in a message of my transgression and his action. I subsequently replied to E profusely apologizing, explained how I accidentally wound up posting there and agreed that it very well should have been deleted.
Now, I point this out, not to justify my action, but to show how easy it is to follow a thread into the "Devs Only" area and post by accident, as a warning to others who post as I had, and in defense of any others who may have innocently transgressed in a similar way. But if you are posting acknowledging in your 1st sentence that you are aware you are transgressing, well then, shame, shame and shoot them down, double-barreled E!

When posting in the devs only section, I feel like I can be more open.
I know you guys are reading it, but generally I don't have to fear your (the wheelers) answers.
Sometimes I feel like wheelers are never gonna fully understand me, maybe just as much as you wheeler guys (sometimes) feel that ABs don't fully understand you.

Remarkably, I don't usually read the girl's section Yeah, I read it a little when it first got started, but I only poke my head in there once in a while anymore. I quickly realized it was just boring chick stuff so I lost interest pretty fast. |

Actually, since this thread I've started reading more, and maybe I'm missing it, but doesn't seem like 'chick stuff' at all. It's mostly 'Dev' discussions, and better ones than over here with us chairdudes. I kinda wish we had more in-depth "Dev" conversations over here. I mean, it's 'Dev' message board, and I'm curious about their feelings...the coming out, how they feel on cure, and especially the sexual attraction. Maybe we should copy/paste some of the girl's threads....KIDDING!!

I think the Devotees deserve the area private from all forms of unwanted intrusion, whether posting, or even reading...
