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.

Mosh, you need to PM me some...very personalized pics...so I can stick up for you in these threads too...:D
check your PMs.

Wtf that forum is impossible to read. Everyone gets like 8 avatars and they go under each post? :confused: And what's with the ~400 pixel width?


Anyway, the IMDb forums have quite a few women and it's pretty annoying. Some forums are made up entirely of inside jokes and socializing, even if the forum is ostensibly for some aspect of films or filmmaking.

And the political forum there is just... Wow. You think ATPN is bad? Wait till you read what the 10 people in the middle east who have internet access have to say :laugh: Throw in the europeans and some of the most right-wing Americans around -- and consider that, not being a tech forum like anandtech, the average IQ there is a bit lower -- and it's pretty much a verbal riot.

Exactly. Get a bunch of them together, and pretty soon one will be pissed at another, and they'll be choosing sides shortly thereafter.

Happens every day, everywhere. That's just the way women are.

there was also a pregnant Optimus Prime sticker on there.


I don't know which is more confusing....

I think I'll just shoot myself and end the pain right now

I'm scared, Zinfamous.

It's so cold...so so cold...

You obviously aren't married.

Wife: So how was your day?
Husband: It was ok.

Wife: Aren't you going to ask me how my day was?
Husband (oh god!): Uh...how was your day?

Wife: *A 45 minute tirade about how so and annoyed her how many stop lights she hit on the way to work, how her coffee didn't have the right creamer flavor in it, her boss is a dumbass, her shoes are uncomfortable and she needs a new pair, something about the price of tea in china, and then somebody burnt popcorn in the microwave and the office stunk all day. And after all of that..."It was OK".
