What has been mentioned, **Weirddave**? If you can provide any sort of plausible explanation for Flamsterette’s utterance, please post it! And if you think I’m a hypocrite, please tell me why. I’m really dying of curiosity here. Ooo! A mystery! ---

Oh, he doesn’t know. He just gets cocky when I let him out of the cage. I’m with everyone else here. Green Bean may be a short person, or a silly person, or a snarkity floo, but she isn’t a hypocrite. ---

I’m hazarding a guess here…but…I haven’t a clue why on earth someone would type something like that fully coded, unless one wanted to post it. Anyway, \*\*GreenBeanMommy[b/], maybe **Flam** thinks you are advocating fair treatment of people as individuals and not as members of their gender group, but you are ‘mean to her’ so that means you’re a hypocrite? I’ve NEVER seen you in that light myself. In fact, I’d say you give people the benefit of the doubt far more than I’d be inclined to do. I believe your accuser has herself a bit of a persecution complex, so that might be a factor as well. Gee, I’m glad this is in the pit, so I can say these things without feeling like a total bitch. 😉 Only the **FlamX** herself can solve this mystery! ---

Wow. If not being a fan of FlamsteretteX qualifies one as a hypocrite, well um, add me to the list. I think Green Bean is owed an explanation. It’s really hard to imagine a context in which that was an OK thing to write or say without backing it up ---

Actually, I believe that by opening it in MPSIMS, she believed that no one would speak to her in a way that she might find offensive. I dunno, seems strange to me, too. :scratches head: ---

What a fucking choad. About of all people- Green Bean? Then to sit there and say “Well, I said it was an accident but it really wasn’t?” This asshole just went WAY over the line. Fuck off, F\_X. Idiot. ---

Now I feel bad that I posted here and hijacked this thread further. I assume the warm and fuzzy “apology” will be moved here shortly or there should probably be a separate thread for this. The OP has a valid topic to discuss and it shouldn’t be taken over by the inability of one poster to control her temper or copy/paste function. ---

**Zette** you are right, and said so with more grace than I am able to summon. ON-TOPIC…another thing to bear in mind is that even if the woman you’re talking about isn’t a “typical female,” it doesn’t mean she’ll be a giant sports fan. I’ve seen people pleased that I am not “typical,” but then shocked when I don’t like football. “But…you’re one of the guys!” Well, there are other GUYS who don’t like football, TOO… ---

Right on regarding sports- I love to spend my Sundays in my Marino jersey with all my Dolphins stuff around me with a big plate of snacky food on the table and channel surf football all day. Whenever I hear complaints about how “women” don’t like sports or don’t understand them, I want to give an illegal block in the back to the speaker. ---

Don’t forget about how you fart, Zette. Yeah. Being one of the guys makes you a farty toad. I’m not a crazy woman. Shut up. I mean it. ---
