I said your post smacked of it. If you really care about the future intellectual quality of this forum you might want to quit classifying everyone according to gender and to their cultural backgrounds. Take the time to read their posts without judging the person behind the words. No one can biologically change what they are. But we can attend to becoming better people socially and intellectually. If you really cared about Marsha (and consequently this discussion group) posts like yours would be sent off-line and not publicly. Why shame her in front of everyone? Because she sent a few unadulterated quotes? I agree it is nice when people add their own commentary to quotes but she is not the only person here to do this. I don't see you getting on them about it. Maybe she didn't feel embarrassed and maybe she knows you are not a chauvinist. I don't know. I didn't ask her nor am I going to ask. I know what I read and I know how I would feel if someone talked to me like that. If I am out of line, then so be it. > > Thank you for your opinion anyway.

I get frustrated with folk here many times and upon reflection I probably say things I would rather I didn't.
