It's good we're getting this out in the open.
Honestly, I have zero interest in your gender. You, like the majority of members on this forum, are nothing but words on a screen to me. While I do enjoy most of your posts, I don't think your gender - or the gender of any other members of this forum - gives anyone any special insight to the majority of topics discussed on here. Maybe Pale's girly car.
As I explained before, the poll topic was a joke topic on a joke forum (spun off from posts made by other members on the forum - not me), never really meant to be taken seriously - and not something I really cared if an honest answer ever came from it (thus the "other" option).
Now - and I'm only speaking for myself here - but I don't respect you less because you're "male", "female" or "other". However, your response to the thread - made on the joke forum - has changed my opinion of you.
If you go through the history of this forum, you'll find several threads - some jokes, some serious - most way more offensive than the "Do you dip or dangle?" - aimed at several different members of our lovely cast of characters here at NWR (including me). Some were ignored (I notice that most of the jabs at Ian get ignored). Some were laughed with. Some were attacked. It's all about the type of response given.
No one is going to judge you by the posts I make. They're only going to judge you by your own posts.
