'lame female' must be the opposite of 'rogue male'.....only an auto censor could make me insult myself!

Ho hum......and back to business.

I guess if you have thick(ish) skin you do wonder how folk can be so sensitive to what after all is only keystrokes in cyberworld, it's not real, if you don't log in, it doesn't exist. You can't really be affected by it in real life can you? Everyone in real life agrees that everyone else who posts on the internet is a (insert suitable profanity) then rushes back to watch/lurk/post more bollox..

It is entertainment, to while away those office hours between sailing, er talking mainly about sailing stuff with the occasional banal drivel and some absolute jewels of useful information, there's no need to be shy, most folk are anonymous so dont really exist, how can they possibly get upset? But they do, funny things humans, even when they're undercover they can still feel affronted, it's weird.

Is it more homophobic or sexist than real life? One has to bear in mind that most members are male and (in line with the general population hetrosexual), I seldom notice anything untoward. I like it on here because most discussions are reasonably intelligent (you should read my Mazda site) and after a few years personalities become recogniseable and interesting. I particularly enjoy it when new junior members arrive full of enthusiasim for sailing. How many of them have faded over the years, or months in some cases.

Anyway dear, get on with the washing up now and stop being lame while I visit my 200 year old Solo and fill it to the gunwhales with resin.

I agree with Rodney - and thanks for putting it so nicely.  From my lone, lame female perspective this forum has actually improved vastly - it still has smatterings of homophobia, and is hugely sexist at times, but actually, it could be a whole lot worse.  Mark keeps a fine line between letting us have our say and letting arguments develop in an interesting way - the design thread is a great example of this.  Good job Mark, and thanks.
