> I agree with everything you have said, and I applaud your having said it! The double-standard is so glaringly obvious and repugnant it has become like one of those big hairy moles that cause people to look the other way. Dislaimer: This is not to say that I don't like bigm, hairy moles, and I don't want anyone with big, hairy moles to feel put down or unsupported.

("What if they never realize?" feels like jumping to thumpin conclusions, predicting future behavior, making assumptions). But the bias and inconsistency are what bother me more. For instance, Nikkit4 accuses someone on the board of "childish acts", and assumes (yes assumes) that SHE is being "threatened" because "SHE doesn't do cr@ppy fluff, or was it fluffy cr@p?" Does that imply that others are offering fluffy cr@ap? (Racer, you're good as this, this implication stuff. What do you think?) Major jump. Major accusation. Major assumption. And then seal of approval immediately stamped by deputy clear skies. Can't say that went unnoticed, or was noticed too late to address.. Zazenducky gets PCBd for saying exactly the same thing deputy gg has said, a time or two, i.e. that sometimes how another person responds to you has more to do with that person's issues than with whatever it was you said. Somebody decided (leapt to the conclusion, made the assumption) that because ZZD said it, it was SARf'in'castic???? When gg says it, it isn't?

Friends,
It is written here,[...the double standard..obvious and (deleted by respondant..)...all.,..not..a..>select few<...].
I am following this thread with interest, for I think that it is important at this time.
If anyone would like to discuss this by email, I could offer support from my perspective, if you like.
