I speculated about 3 possible alternatives for the choice of "gender undisclosed" - solidarity, misdirection and unknown. But in the vast majority of cases, it was solidarity you plumped for. (Jade is probably having the same difficulty that I am in understanding misdirection. If by that you mean the intention to mislead, it's not a very good choice of word.) |

Yes, "intention to mislead", jean, is a perfectly serviceable definition of my use of "misdirection". You may quibble, but then that's what scorpions do isn't it?
I meant "not being straightforward" - a conscious refusal not to provide part of the context which would actually be clear in face to face conversation (unless, of course, you chose to appear hooded and with an actor's voice speaking your lines).

Sez you!. Pure invention on your part, pippop, just like my purported misogyny. Repeating it does not make it so. And have you noticed you have found no supporters for this assertion here? You're on your own, lady! Why? Because you cannot read through the words to the meaning and you don't understand the "historical" context of the board. It must already be obvious that I am pretty good at spotting the sex of my interlocutors whatever they state on their registration - whether they simply conceal or actually lie. My point is, why does a small subset of the board persist in this faux "feminist" trait? By the way, the most frequent "insult" I use here and elsewhere is "prat" and that is unisex as far as I'm concerned (except when in fun I occasionally feminize it - and that has a history that involves another walk down Memory Lane with our resident professoressa that is so boring to you). "Whited sepulchre" is reserved for particularly egregious behaviour and "shithouse" for when I am really cross with our mod! Pippop, your perennial lack of appreciation for my epithets reveals you to be a humourless prat. Is it something I said? Like all that stuff you invented about why people don't put their sex on the proboards details. Some people choose to stay invisible; I bet you have some laughable conspiracy theory about that too. (watch out Aquatic!) You've nothing to worry about then. |

Jade, are you revealing a girlie inability to read a table? Well, you would not be the first one on this board and its precursors. I speculated about 3 possible alternatives for the choice of "gender undisclosed" - solidarity, misdirection and unknown. For such a small subgroup of the board's membership, I think three options are quite enough! I'm afraid you have lost me with your esoteric interpretation of "solidarity". Be careful! Looks like pink can affect brain function. Jade, just in case you've not read all of the posts leading up to this one I can tell you that you have apparently been called "girlie" above because it annoys the hell out of you and your ilk. So be a good sport and try to be annoyed. Oh! And English is my second language. (You should be up to speed now.) |

Starting from now and ignoring all that's gone before (which is only fair really) here is Marchesarosa's insult table:
Ladies - 1
Gentlemen - 0

Pippop, you have contributed more posts by far to this thread than any other board member. 52 out of 140, so far. You are driving this thread, as you have several others that have me in their sights. I have posted/responded only 27 times so far, even fewer than jean who has 30!
You are the one who ups the ante continually with silly claims of my misogyny just as in previous threads you have claimed to descry racism and even a link to the BNP. People could think you are on an undisclosed mission. Everyone knows, of course, that I am on a mission against PC-dom, but what is yours? We have to guess.
I opened the thread to post a spoof about Clarkson. Then there was a heaven sent opportunity to discuss the way the PC react to him, courtesy of the silly lady TUist wanting to criminalise wrong thinkers like him. Perhaps he should be in the dock at the Hague like Milosevic, (for Gadaffi it's too late, alas,) et al? Wow! that's bit of girlie over-reaction, isn't it?
You are obviously keen on equal opportunity insults on this board and are offended I am not fulfilling my quota! What a good little administrator you would make!
Well, surprise, surprise, like the public sector, this board is predominantly female, so they are the ones who get criticised when they say silly things. Geddit?
Prentis, bless'im, did not liken Clarkson to Gadaffi. That nonsense was left to his girlie colleague.

Well, surprise, surprise, like the NHS, this board is predominantly female, so they are the ones who get criticised when they say silly things. ? is English your first laguage? I am on a mission to get you to use quote boxes so that you can't make up things I'm supposed to have said. Everyone agreed with you about her overreaction. No. You've completely misread the situation. Possibly deliberately or maybe you don't read my posts properly. (That's where the smart money is.) You are an administrator aren't you, so maybe you have some insights. Is it hard to keep an even hand? It's not predominantly female. |

I see that I replied to your first draft, Marchesarosa.
Couldn't you read through what you've written and make any corrections before clicking on the "post reply" button like the rest of us?
Then this sort of thing won't happen!

I did notice and correct my spelling, pippop, before you drew it to the board's attention. But thanks for trying to maintain board standards.
Is counting not a strong point with you, pippop?
Just look at the last 1000 posts on this board and see how many come from women, perhaps? you may get a clue as to who are the main contributors. And remember, even amongst those claiming to be men some are lying, by your own assertion.
Moribund male members (chortle) do not count. Not including jonjel and aqua with these, of course!

Don't worry - we're only counting from now. Mind you I've just noticed that earlier on you called me a prat (naughty!) and you've got me down as a woman haven't you? a Forrin one at that! So we'll have that too: Ladies - 3 Gentlemen - 0 |

Then move on, yes? Oh, but no! You do repetition big time don't you? Well I'll count 'em each time too. Then maybe, if nothing else, I can help you to be less repetetive. Win win! You're a caution! (Is that the correct idiom?) |

I didn't imply you were "foreign" pippop, just that your mother tongue may not be English. I am sure you have a British passport and maybe one from somewhere else too, just in case! Lucky girl!
