Black women's book club settles lawsuit with California wine train company

[Jaron]

If you had told me 10 years ago that Martinus would have become a Polish derspiess, I probably would have laughed in your face.

But lo and behold...

I feel bad for the two women who lost their jobs because their company cyber-stalks them.

I don't know. Posting on social media is an act done in public. If it was easy enough to link their comments to the incident in question then they deserve what they allegedly got.

And people say I am paranoid about social media.

Suing a vintage train company.
This angers me.

I think you misunderstand. The train cars themselves are vintage, not the company (whose website says they have been in existence for 25 years). It is essentially a booze cruise that lets passengers train to different wineries rather than drinking and driving.

Which makes people complaining about loud passengers even more strange.

Wine events are generally polite, quiet, and restrained.  In that sense I don't think the booze cruise analogy fits.  I can imagine a group of loud women being disruptive to the whole vibe.

If your company is big enough, it is keeping tabs on your social media accounts.

The non-gay ones, anyway.

A wine tasting? Sure because you do not actually consume the wine. But a winery tour train sounds like it would get pretty boisterous as it went along.

[HVC]

Which means these women had to be really annoying to be a distraction to the other guests... Or they were black lol

[Martinus]

Incidentally, I wonder if there is any research on different ethnic/cultural groups in the West and how they compare in terms of respecting personal space, how loud they talk/behave etc.

[derspiess]

Maybe the wine events you guys have attended have been the raucous ones and somehow I avoided that on mine (which btw have included tastings, festivals, and yes tours).  I guess I've just been really lucky.

That's because you only go to racist events where people are generally polite.

My friends are just not as boring as yours

But I don't attend booze events, nor would I unless there was something nerdy about them (like a 900 year old winery or something). I have just seen what wine tends to do at parties.

You have very different wine tour experiences from mine.  Normally by the end of the day people are in a pretty good mood and the exact opposite of quiet and restrained.  Sampling a lot of wines throughout the day seems to have that effect on people.
