I was catching up with this thread--after only going on the forum intermittently most of yesterday--when I encountered this (bolding mine):
And finally this:
We were having a fun and spirited, but civilized, conversation before Anonymous123 butted in and blew the lid off with personal insults toward people he doesn't agree with. There were some "you guys are cheap!" accusations, but guys kept it respectful, as is the custom in this forum. Anonymous took a big leap over the line. Instead of making it about differences of opinion between players, he made it about being "broke" or being "infected by feminism" or having a "poverty mindset." This is unacceptable.
This isn't the first time Anonymous has displayed total disregard for forum culture. He has a history of insulting the membership, using feminist shaming language, yet being quick to take offense when things don't go his way. He's currently on a 60% warning level for one of those.
A meltdown like this would ordinarily merit at least a 7-day day warning (+60%). Even if the moderation team were supremely generous, and gave him a 3-day (+40%), Anonymous would still go over the 100% (ban) mark. Though, to be frank, Anonymous has displayed a consistent pattern of unwillingness to adhere to the way things are done in this forum.
Guys ask for transparency about bannings, often with the (incorrect) speculation that they're done arbitrarily, with little consideration, or for personal reasons. So there you have it. Roosh and I even discussed this case in detail behind the scenes, though this one didn't even merit it because it's so clear cut.
This is otherwise a good conversation and thread. Let's carry on.

But, outside of this...feminism might have infected you worse than what you are trying to protect others from...

If you are broke, you will come up with ways to sound Alpha about why a bitch better not order any appetizers.

The broke guys need to make up some "rules" about "game" (despite not necessarily being the best role models about game that works) to make sure that they feel good about being over 30 years old and going Dutch on a date that has access to $10 appetizers.

Freaking out about the tab creeping up a bit while having a good time?...well, that is a man not in control of his lifestyle. That is losing frame.

@QC - wouldn't it be easier to bifurcate into: 1) if you make little per year year then "Team No Appetizers", and 2) if you make more than average "Don't Give A Shit About No Chicken Wang"!???
Seriously, if "Team No Appetizer" becomes a rule...you are truly giving shitty advice to the brotherhood of the game community. We should all adapt to the circumstances of what you have available to yourself.
Don't impose this poverty mindset on others. Appetizers? Really? What a joke.
