Hi Andy. Before you respond to Zo's post, I thought you might want to read her post to me. It was an example, in Zo's opinion, of the sort of warmth and caring that this board ought to be about. I don't know how long you've been posting here because I don't read this board that often, but I can see where the response you've gotten to your original post might put you off. It would have sent me running away looking for a more pleasant place if I hadn't been around for a while and already met with a lot of kindness. Please continue to post. There are many of us who did understand your good intentions.

Dinah

I believe--and I think this is what trouble was trying to tell you--you're one of those guys who think it's okay to lash out at and put down women when HE is feeling threatened or uncomfortable.
