<Flamesuit On> ... some thoughts to the bros ...
We hardly ever get an opportunity to chat with the girls we meet with - hardly ever see a girl posting here, especially not so outspoken and straightforward, and in fluent English too
and you react by nitpicking and criticising???
cmon guys, be more of a gentleman, and you might get a better response!! Seriously ... I'm not surprised of her attitude to this forum, given the reception she's getting.
No I'm not defending her attitude, but I'm not attacking it either. It is what it is. Nor am I suggesting you should like it - some will, some won't. But I do see it as what it is: raw, unedited, and honest.
Nor do I see any need to go on being critical about points that have been addressed.
And:
Miss P, welcome!!
I don't have to agree with anyone to appreciate your contribution here, I hope you stay as a correspondent. I feel that having your voice can add value to the forum, and can support a profession which - as you point out - is both ancient and mutually beneficial.
By the way: do quit it with the -1 A ... that's frowned on from all members! You want to run with the boys, you are most welcome, please respect this is a boys' room, and has boys' conduct! Yes, boys have egos, you already knew that, and if you know boys you also know in a boys' room it is more important to fit in than to be special. Use your words to chastise and correct, by all means, use your intellect and oratory to convince and convey. But you can get more credit by exercising restraint than you do by exercising your rights to neg people's hard-earned points!! Childish? Yes, on all sides
