a post is a post. Nothing more, no other factors should go into what someone thinks of a certain posters opinions. I like it.
This is a great website and message board, but gender argument aside, a lot more would have to change on this board to achieve the type of environment mentioned above. The blog veterans have tons of Stars and Tommy Points to remind you who they are every time they post. This doesnt change how newcomers to the blog judge their opinions?? It's like getting introduced to a pecking order.
Im not trying to attack the site or anything, like I said this is a great place. It's just funny that we talk about a post being a post and thats it, judge someones opinion with no other factors, or preconceived judgements, with all these other giant red flags floating around before you'd even get to gender.
