You and I and bob used to have a blast. Do you think I would call him a perpetrator? Have you ever seen me as a mean person...ever???
My wording got screwed up but I really thought the post was clear. I tried raising a simple question, why have guys left here? I've never even considered or thought or dreamed that women chased them away. I want them back for all of our benefit.
If I could post this over, I would say, "Does anyone have a theory why men are leaving at a higher rate, IF indeed they are?"
I'm sorry for offending you.
