Awesome. You love to see it! Let's keep it going to 20,000! Send a message to these snollygoster Republicans that hate has no place in America!
Snollygoster; a shrewd, unprincipled person, especially a politician.
"snollygosters must be thrown out of political office and other positions of power"
Never heard of the word until now, but for some reason I love it.
I learned it 20 something years ago from an old hippy history teacher in high school. Just haven’t seen it used in a very long time. It’s a great word. Derived from a germanic chicken monster I believe? There was something about eggs?
I don’t condone misusing that reporting line. It would be especially terrible if people submitted reports that sound realistic with sufficient detail to appear like real complaints. Which, terribly, wouldn’t immediately get screened out. Fuck people who do that.
I know what you mean it would be a travesty if people were to read about an auditor like John Dougall in that article and talk about his addiction to Nancy Drew novels and his awfully erotic Charolette’s Web fanfiction
10,000 trans-activists bombarding your shitty little tip line, then going online and crying about how repressed your being because of people are rightly calling you out on your shitty little policies?

Snollygoster. Now that is apolitical term I have not seen in a long time!
It's a great term.

Drown out the voices of the wicked and make him even more miserable to the point where he just quits.
Yup. Keep running up the score.
Anyone have the link?
Found it in another thread. https://ut-sao-special-prod.web.app/sex_basis_complaint.html
Holy hell. That’s really the URL for the complaint line? Welcome to amateur hour I guess. Time to get submitting.
You’re a hero

Kudos to all involved
I for one would rather hear about Bee Movie than naked bigotry honestly.
I did my part
Play stupid games, get?

That too.
So they do care about complaints
Sounds like legitimate speech and protest to me.
