Jimmy, you're right about that. I find when was there last, I didn't mind the ignorant, crude and racist things that they said so much, as much as the possibility that they will somehow manage to make some good woman unhappy and miserable. We are all shamed by the behaviour of some men.
The only other consolation in it all, is that it makes me want to act as well as we can and to make sure that our forum here stays the way it is at the moment: friendly, supportive, and respectable.
If I have learned anything from having a teenage daughter, it is that people's behaviour (specifically the behaviour of her friends and acquaintances when they communicate using myspace, msn, yahoo, etc) is much, much worse over the internet than it is person to person, and even compared with using the telephone.
I think we have something really good going at the moment, and we need to take care to make sure it stays that way.
