This is true. I like my pollyanna friends a lot because they don't make excuses for an obvious wrongdoer or enabler of wrongdoing.

There's a reason the thread "marginalizing other peoples' viewpoints" grew to be lengthy. Some people can post things like scathing reviews of a contractor or other service provider (as Talk Host did today about the lousy pool installation), or a newbie can post his valid anger over delays in his mortgage process and say he is former law enforcement and can ___ with people in ways unheard of, and can be "the vilest" if not treated right . . but in these two and other examples, they are not vilified and termed "disrespectful" for posting their complaint. But then, they are men.

As is the case in many places in our society, when women state a complaint in no uncertain terms, they are treated like a witch with a "b", but when men do the same thing, their complaint is validated with continued conversation/input!

Just stating what I see . . .
