Yes I think you should --> you represent the AO body and you should be respectful and encouraging n00bs like me so that AO will grow.Quote:

Sounds like your idea of feminism is stuck in womens lib in the 70's... Women don't want to be Men any more than People with Black Skin want to be White Skinned. Racism and Sexism is about fairness. There is a distinction...think on it.Quote:

Unless I've missed something you came here saying you were female and I posted a pic because everyone asked. You whined to Neg and had the post deleted and I didn't doa thing about it. Though I could have pointed out that you had the link to it IN YOUR PROFILE.
If you wanted a fair go for everyone you wouldn't be complaining about my attutude. I stand by every word I said. I will NOT bend my code of ethics about treating woman as an equal to men. Unless of course you want to stay at home in the kitchen being a personal servant to the men of the World, but that's your choice.
Thats what I'm here to talk --> technical.Quote:

I would have maintained my sexual identity more if you hadn't made such a big deal out of it in the first place... this is the greatest irony about this whole situation. I was happy to be seen as a woman but then you made a big deal out of it! OMG TEH PIC It was annoying and I felt it was disrepectful.Quote:

You might find more women take on their identity if you didn't seem judgemental.
I'm not American... maybe this is a simple misunderstanding?Quote:

I think I just figured out why feminists love me... (No, that wasn't sarcasm, they do).
Ack Phtt! I missed my cue again,
"I do not have an attitude problem, I have an attitude, you have the problem"Quote:
I find it disconcerting that a moderator has an attitude problem (not specifically at women OR men but everyone in general)
Trouble is, I just cannot remember where that quote came from............anyone know?
Back on topic, who cares about sexuality when you are in a technical environment?
Medcine, dentistry, sciences, accountancy, law, IT, ...................... I would have thought that the last bastions were things like engineering, military and law enforcement?
:confused:
wait...what....MLF is a girl?
And how come I never get any women after me? >.<
You'll never REALLY know now.....will ya ;)Quote:

I'd say check her profile but I don'tr want another post deleted or get "negged" again like last time but she does have pics she's uploaded here ;)
I just woke up.... God you people know how to start my day. I don't remember making half that reply I did, but anyway, the problem as I see it, is that you seem to think about what I think that much to sit here replying even more.
Oh, and for the record, until two weeks ago my inbox was completly full, I wouldn't have gotten a message from you.
I've never once been mean to you, I've never gone out of my way to be rude to you, sO I'm not really sure how it is I'm the problem.
I believe everyone gets a welcome email, that should suffice Alleycat. As far as Gore's attitude goes... well that's him. If you don't like it, ignore like any halfway mature person would.
Man another famous AO thread reduced from the ridiculous to the absolute sublime.
LOL, who cares what sex you are, you're all androgynous online anyway.
LOL. When I signed up you got the email, I'm not sure if it does now or not, but as far as I know, it does.
Girls asking for special treatment are the reason most trolls grew boobs for round two of annoy fest. Because for a while, they got it.
Hell, look at Quad, perfect example, he wasn't a troll but people didn't like his atitude. When he came back as "SexyBadGirl" and had a pic of a girl in his profile that didn't look like she fell off a bridge and landed in ugly, he didn't change his attitude at all, and poof, he was aloud to stay all of a sudden lol.
I swear I could retire if I opened up a prostitution ring of girls wearing BSD shirts and did a tour of Hoho con or something.
It would be like eating Mcdonalds in the window of a gym full of fat people. Lol.
EDIT:
Shoot I forgot to add something:
You joined in November, 2005, I didn't become a mod until December. So go complain about the others who I know didn't welcome you, as NO mods welcome every member.
You're a Jr. Member, not a noob. If you want to grow be sure to take your Flinstone's Chewable Vitamins.Quote:

Wow did I ever frick up the quotes in that...reason for edit
Do you realize the guy/girl who actually started this thread hasnt logged into AO in almost a month now? just thought I would point that out lol.
Whoooo, Morgan, something happened to the formatting there.
As for people getting treated different... The squeaky wheel want's to be greased. ;)
For Cat-
Funny you're blaming me, because I know for a fact you pointed out you were a girl before I posted a LINK to your picture, which was already in your profile anyway. If you didn't want anyone to know what you looked like maybe it would have been somewhat smart to not link a pic in the first place?
Tex:
Yes I know. I was going to close it earlier but I was phishing for practice. either cat signed off or figured that out.
EDIT:
Edited for clarity.
Most of my other reply was phishing mainly to check what would happen and how many buttons I could push. But cat's don't like phish apparently ;) Guess I should have just said "Here Kitty kitty" and put out some milk lol.
Whoa Gore...
Lay of the drugs!!! ;)
Your gettin paranoid boy........I wasnt saying anything to get your back up
I was just stating a fact...........
You guys gotta to fricken chill.........this is GCC.....
I was just having fun..................geez
:rolleyes:
MLF
Uhhhh Morgan... Hun I think you might want to put the wine down and re-read what I said ;) My comemnt for you was the formatting. That was all :)
Gore
Obviously you edited your post.............as I did mine and fixed the formatting
Not into the wine.........yet
MLF
off to find a pic of earlier visual ...rename as me.jpg...and post :D
I have a few pics you could use. ;)
Hell if you want I'll take some of me and you can use those. I'll spike up my mohawk and write MorganLefay on my tee shirt. Probably should anyway, no one has seen me since I lost all that weight.
All the working out of my trying to quit smoking.
LOL actually that would probably get more of a reaction from me - just for your future reference...Quote:

But honestly... all I had was my MSN ... which I thought was quite appropriate, so people could contact me if they wanted to and you found my MSN profile... and posted to that... Some would call that harassment... I wouldn't go so far, but I have chosen to remain more anonymous now.
Anyone with half a brain can still find photos of me all over the internet... I'm not worried about my Internet presence, only worried about the idiots that might be able to use it against me...
All sarcasm aside, I hope that I can continue to lurk around here until I can actually contribute meaningful discussion.
On the sexuality in the workplace topic... I think having a mixed environment is critical to maintaining a balanced and forward thinking/moving environment... Women can bring a sensitivity and umm... language/communication skills... [dont take that the wrong way fellas!] that may otherwise be lacking in a technical environment.
I find it fairly tacky that anyone would go thru your MSN info and post links to your pictures, but Gore, I find it extremely inappropriate for a moderator.
AlleyCat, as Morgan mentioned, and as I've mentioned in other posts, having a picture in your profile here is, unfortunately, asking for hassles. Having a moderator go thru your info and post links to your pictures without asking your permission is something I definately would have complained to Intmon about.

She is a young lady (at my age a lot of them are young ;) )
I noticed that she was actually on the bottom of the negative antipoint earners of the week list about 3 weeks after her post!?
Oh Well..............................
She is an OK member so please leave her alone :)
I think it might have something to do with her first post:Quote:

IIRC, she was negged at first for this thread, and later someone gave her some greens.
EDIT:
Nihil, are you sure you don't mean jenniferaloette. She is at the bottom of the neg. list.
Deb :
I wasn't a mod when that happened. And I didn't post her pic, I posted a link to her MSN profile, which she had in her AO profile. I copied it straight from her profile. The pic was in there already.

OK I've been awake for more than 10 minutesn now and I saw that. Ummm... OK, I'm going to clear this up with the entire thign that happened:
I didn't upload your pic, I didn't post your pic, you had your MSN in your profile and you're saying it's for peopel to contact you, when you went to the link you had in yuor profile, it showed your pic.
Ten people or so asked why you didn't have a pic, and I finally replied saying uhhh she does.... Her MSN link takes you to one.
That was what I did, nothing more. I didn't link them directly to it, I didn't go search through everything to find it, I just pointed out the link you had for MSN contained a picture, that was all.
Neg sent me aPM saying you asked for it to be removed, and said if I wanted to complain, he'd understand, because the link was in your profile already, I just pointed it out it was there.
Actually Gore You did post a link that linked us to it directly. ;)Quote:

As that was how i came across her photo, and i asked her via Pm where in Sydney she was located. Only because i was sure i had seen her before..
you seem to have a short memory when you want to don't you. :confused: ;)
f2B
No, I just remembered the PM Neh sent me and he said he had no problem because it was something she had in there already. I'd go check but the post was deleted. I know ti wasn't direct, or at least I'm pretty sure it was, because the link was profiles.msn.com which doesn't give direct links unless you go to the image and go to propertys, and I really don't think I would have taken that much time.
In other news:
MY cousin Matt told me if someone in our family won the lotto he too would be with me when I loeft that day for Berlin. My cousin Ray (Mandraketux on AO) wants to go to. One of our Aunts asked me "Would you REALLY leave that day?"
I said "You wouldn't even see the smoke from the tires when I left for the air port". Lol.
Only problem would be, I really don't know if I'd come back. And neither did they so we had a good laugh. The conversation started when we went back to the house I grew up in to help my Uncle carry stuff and we saw my old room and took a trip down memory lane.
I made the comment out of all our family that came to the US, Me, Matt, Ray, and my cuosin Bill were some of the VERY few who took the time to learn the language of our Native Country.
EDIT:
OK, I've been thinking this over and I think this has far out lived any usefullness it may have ever had. I've said my peice defending myself which I don't think I should have had to of done in the first place, as I pointed out, I linked to an MSN profile, which did show a pic, but I didn't upload it or anything of that nature.
And all of the info, (the link) were already in the profile. I just pointed out they were there. As I said though, the only reason I posted it was because people were asking why there was no pic, and I said there was in her profile, that's all.
Now, if anyone doesn't want this thread closed, feel free to send me a PM, I will take into consideration any PM sent to me and if needed, re open this. But for now, I'm going to close it as I personally feel it's gone passed the use of anything it ever had.
Again, if you think this should stay open, send me a PM, I'm more than willing to reopen if there is a good reason.
PM me with anything you want, until then:
*Thread closed*
