As in most discussion groups, there are regulars in the newsgroup who direct the flow of communication and whose views are expressed repeatedly. The posting garnered numerous replies dealing with personal experiences where the exact opposite happened, comments on parents keeping their children in control in public, policy implementation, profiling and stereotyping. For the most part, there wasn't much use of name calling in the newsgroup. The overall design of the site is cluttered. The broad and shallow structure does not effectively portray all the web pages available.
Links seem to be haphazardly placed on the screen.
Organization would definitely give the site more visual interest as well as easier navigation. A narrow and deep structure might allow greater manageability of the large amounts of content presented. The website is intended to inform citizens of a completely different viewpoint in areas traditionally dominated by the female voice. Many of the pages are personal narratives of men who have been in abusive relationships, these pages are clearly self expressive. Text is the emphasis of this site, not many pages are owners of huge gif or jpegs, allowing for a relatively speedy download.
