Is that a pet name for your penis. :D
If that were the case then I wouldn't be complaining.

shens.

seriously? lol

go look in PFI or better yet Politics and News forum. you talk about a bunch of drama kings. :laugh:
There is no drama is P&N. We are having serious discussions about the future of the world.

It is not our fault that the other side is a bunch of drug using hippie socialists :)

Come on John, even Cheney speaks nicely about Rush...You shouldn't bash him.

The whiney ATi fanbois cause more drama than teenage school girls in the Video section.

Anyone else find a bit of irony that an admittedly homosexual male hangs out in "Female dominated" forums? :D

My girlfriend goes to a purse forum that's about 99% female and it gives me a huge headache just reading about opinions about different brands of bags and upcoming models blah blah blah....
... I'm getting a headache just thinking about it.

I participated in a few threads on tv.com discussing episode happen-stances (I didn't just make that word up did I?)... well it turns out only females talk about shows, regular dramas like Criminal Minds or House. Not a male in sight judging from responses.

Another one is baby-related forums... my wife never touches a computer unless she's at work so when we have a question it's always females responding... where are all the concerned/helpful dads?

that's funny, televisionwithoutpity.com has always seemed like a clam bake to me as well... but the mods there are hardcore. they pick up on anything even remotely OT.

my girlfriend primarily spends her forum time on a Latvian-based site dedicated to moms. It's the most popular forum in the country, and is completely dominated by state-at-home moms reared during occupation, so their opinions are quite....off.


Amazing the discussion that comes out of there.

it's like here, about 90% of the female posters are dudes trying to sound like a chick.

how many times are you going to repeat that unjustified accusation?

if i were bored enough i would've kept a running list and posted it here as you must be up to at least 10 repeats of this statement.

i do not know of anyone here posing as a female who is not a female. maybe you should list those female posters you think are dudes trying to sound like a chick. i am curious as to which 9 out of 10 female posters here you think are posers.
