Hmmm... I'd say with me it is definitely 50/50, even with slight preference towards what *she* wants. B/c if she is not happy well...that's going to make me not so happy.

First of all, I didn't say or do any of those things you listed. Secondly, don't lump my statement in with the OP's posts as if we have the same exact opinion on the subject. The OP has his perspective and I have mine. One of the few things I don't tolerate on this thread is being pigeon-holed.

YOU asked who is telling women they aren't welcome here. I gave you a detailed answer with loads of specific and relevant examples.

I happen to have a fabulous sense of humor.

I just don't need to kick people who are already down to get my laughs.

Thank you, I couldn't rep you again so I came back to say I will make note of that. BTW, I don't know if the OP is a real postman or just someone who calls himself that because he posts on messages boards but my sister, a female, is a real person who used deliver mail. She is very well versed in geography and her nickname is "Sam," short for Samantha

But do the women really go round and round arguing about who has the biggest this or most impressive that, and of course that bigger or more impressive whatever makes them superior to everyone else?
Agreed. See below (from the Pittsburgh forum):

Just what good with this do, other than elevate Pittsburgh's size in the list of cities? The MSA wouldn't change, the CSA wouldn't change.

Yup! As I mentioned in my other post, I've seen discussions on cities turn into which has more people in the metro who make over 300k per year. What?!

Some things I just don't see the relevance to how one city is better than another.

Most of them were jokes by the OP and the rest of the posts you quoted didn't hold much merit to my question. I guess your taking them as serious responses so that in itself makes your response post look rather weak since your trying to use them against me to make a point.

I do agree that those type of discussions can get out of hand sometimes.

Inane? Yeah by the standards of this forum I think my questions are pretty good. If you think them inane good for you.

Yeah right now all my time is my free time...I probably need to cut down on posting again.

I try to make an astute social commentary and I get attacked. Typical.
