Attitudes and practices can change. Changes in this country are more recent than it might seem.
I’ll just give two examples: Less than 30 years ago a female colleague commented that the only women walking in London at 2 in the morning were ‘old toms’ – prostitutes. It took an outcry about how police officers were seen ‘interviewing’ female rape victims in a fly-on-the-wall documentary in 1982 to begin changing the UK police approach to interviewing women from one based on suspicion to one that encouraged support and reassurance. The changes might not be total and the examples are not in the same order as Joyti Singh Pandey’s barbarous treatment, I realise.
India is a country where rapid change has already happened. I hope the release of Jyoti’s name and the outcry will do something to remove the stigma against rape victims, even at an official level. And feed into (and on) global changes to improve justice in sex-related attitudes.

But as Tinks says, it was a bit better before, when we all had scurvy, and everything was in black + white and you had to chose a room. Hell you could choose 3 rooms and chat simultaneously to different people.
Who then sussed out what you were doing and did the same thing back. My rapidly failing memory tells me that was when the real fun started.

I still miss the little white dot disappearing into the centre of the screen . . . . .
The prospect of boards v2 doesn’t excite me. The boards will always be the product of the users.
I have been more affected by past experience of persistent, unreasonable, vitriolic criticism than by the format of the boards. The most significant people appear to have backed off in one way or another.
Maybe a format change would improve things, but I doubt it.

I know recognition is a good thing, but I don’t know what benefits a knighthood gets you compared with an OBE or CBE,
I know a couple of people with honours and they play them down if they are ever mentioned.
On the face of it, complaining that you didn’t get knighted for something you claim to enjoy or because someone else has already got one seems a bit churlish, not noble at all.
It’s Christmas and she won’t be there with her family.
No matter who knows what, who gets blamed or whether anything like this happens again, it’s a tragedy no one can undo.
I feel so sad about it.
