WHOA, even though it's off the subject at hand. I NEVER contacted you offering support. You had replied to one of my posts in Kevin's thread and all we did was talk about what had happened. Nothing I said or did was factored because of us talking, therefore I didn't have to "offer you support."

Yes, the "you." Well, some of the "yous" are caught up and we didn't even want to be. How? By the starter of the thread wording her post to make it seem as though every guy on gc is an "asshole," and that IS how she stated it, mind you. And to be honest, that is part of what is going on here. Some "notable gc member" who posts under an alias and basically lashes out at the guys on gc, and maybe even some of the girls. What I find really weak is that I CAN guarantee that the person is still posting under the name they were using before they created that name. To me, all it is, is a scapegoated name, used so the person wouldn't have to directly deal with the "flaming" they got from some of the poorly worded statements.

Hey, I'll express concern if asked directly. But I refuse to after being placed in a category where the original comments about the gc men came from. And like you said you didn't need any help from anyone, but I take it that some people are asking the gc men to do something about this. 1. We don't know the person. 2. They aren't a gc regular. 3. If we threaten someone on the internet, it could be considered a crime. 4. Maybe the thread SHOULDN't have been started in the first place, considering that the person who sent the msg is obviously not of caliber with the other gc men. NOW, did anyone think of that point?!
"Crass, insensitive comments?" It's rather ironic talking about it because the first "crass, insensitive comments" were made from the person who started the thread, like I've stated many times already. And are the people that don't view it that way "missing the boat entirely?" Granted the person who started the discussion might not have wanted to state it the way it was said, BUT it was, and you have to understand, that's HOW some of the "GC MEN" perceive it.
