Hey I might be an asshole, but I'm not a stupid one like you appear to

No some things need to be said, and I've received quite a bit of
encouragement from others on this list who found many of her posts
inappropriate for a technical forum. I just don't care for the "cutesy"
aspect of a young woman flirting on an adult list. I have several friends
in law enforcement and one with the "horsemen" [RCMP]. Over time they've
remarked when investigating cybercrime, specifically older men caught
seducing young girls online, that often these men thought they were
talking to women considerably older. These seem policemen mentioned
that one of the problems they have to deal with is that women often chat
like young teenage girls online - vis-a-vis some of the exchanges I've
seen on this list with unowho. I just wish to put an end to some of this
nonsense, women shouldn't flirt with strange men in real life, so why
should it be considered proper in an online forum, especially one like
this one? Something I hope you fellas consider before thinking you're
defending a damsel in distress. Methinks she has probably a few issues
to deal with and finding them here is NOT appropriate.

No I'm not stupid and but I realize you like to jump to conclusions -
whatever floats yer boat. Swim on.

I would suggest that it is time to let this thread die. There are enough other things to address than this type of thing. If you don't like the way some one posts or participates put a filter on. Length of time on the list has little to do with how a post is made. I have been on the list for about 2years now, I find that it is community and that for the most part it is made up of people trying to help others or looking for help. I've been both and I don,t mind adding a little humor to my posts (some might say "very little humor"). Tongue in cheek is ok too. So folks let's just let it lay for now. Thanks.
