Not sure if this is appropriate or not, but I think it could be a good discussion. There's a lot of backlash about the misogyny in Hollywood and it's link to the Elliott Rodger's disturbing manifesto. Obviously the kid had a couple screws loose, but his misguided view of what women "did" to him had a lot to do with his actions.

Anyway, here's a couple pieces I found very interesting reads. If this isn't appropriate for BGO, feel free to shut this down.

Here's a piece from self-proclaimed nerd and jeopardy pioneer Arthur Chu:

I have a low confidence level in folks ability to discuss calmly and rationally. Sorry.

As a general rule, if you guys start a thread 'I'm not sure if this is appropriate...' We're probably going to shut it down.

We hate it, but we're not going back to the former environment.

We are all excited to experience the announcement of draft selections IN REAL TIME TOGETHER. If you feel the need to be the first to 'blurt out' the team's picks you are better off staying out of chat and sticking to Twitter. Please refrain from announcing/discussing our picks until the official announcement has been made at the podium. Thanks!
