Mrs. "we live in America and I will post here and there and everywhere I desire" takes exception when another poster exercises the same prerogative? Not a fan of free speech anymore and now want to limit it? Your ideals only run skin deep or only apply to you? So many questions and the sun is barely up.
Free speech can be anything, but there are limits. You can’t scream fire in a crowded theater!
Having said that, yes we do live in America. And in recent times, the acceptance of misogyny has only grown. And it’s fueled by the highest office in America, as we see here.
And while the pure scum of humanity such as MyMano has time and time proven to be the misogynist sick pig he is, he is free to call a woman a “BITCH” as well as ask how many times she “dropped her drawers” for a public servant.
And the real problem to me is not that MyMano is a washed up drunken misogynist pig, it’s the people who support his behavior, which has gone on here at PunaWeb for over a decade.
I only wish I could be a fly on the wall and see MyMano call Frankie Stapleton a “BITCH” and ask her how many times she “dropped her drawers” while working at the Hawaiian Tribune Herald.
In the meantime, I’ll refrain from quoting too much and maybe I’ll not post as much. But that does not change who or what I am. Just as MyMano can’t help being who and what he is. (Who from what I can ascertain, is the ONLY one known for deleting some of his more drunken misogynistic posts over the last 10 plus years under several other screen names.)

Where "more important" includes online pedantry?
People are free to value their time (or not) as they see fit. As the old saying goes, "I used to be addicted to crack". Now we can have a 15-page discussion about whether the period belongs outside the quotes, because that's what's really important here. In the name of decency. And decorum. Also, let's talk about whether we're getting good value for the property taxes we pay. Because that's obviously why Rob graciously hosts this rich brew of revolting ferment. Maybe someone can write a book about it. With a foreword.
And with pictures. Must have pictures. No book is any good without pictures. Must have pictures.
