Seems to me that the sexist remarks should absolutely not be deleted in this thread as they tend to drive the point of this thread home. Take a breather Doc, and I agree with the others -- you should refrain from being a mod and a participant in any particular discussion.

As far as attitudes towards women go -- if you want to attract more women in the forums, cut out the obviously disrespectful and trashy crap that goes on here -- you don't need to be told what it is -- you already know (and if you don't, you shouldn't be a mod).

fwiw: I would like to join The Weak Link in his quest for clean language in the forums -- it's a step in the right direction. Is it really necessary to commonly use foul language when other more succinct words are readily available? Time to get out the dictionary folks -- the level of meaningful discussion will improve a lot from putting an end to the foul language (whether it's spelled out or implied by asterisks). Note that I'm far from being a puritan and I quite enjoy time with "the guys", but I do tend to enjoy discussion that doesn't resort to trailer trash talk. Come one, come all... join the crusade!
