It's fine, Bob. I'm not hurt or offended by the original comment, as I've said a few times. I don't have to be personally affronted to find issue with what you said. It's more the principal of the matter... but alas, this seems to be a moot point. I respect that it's your manner of speaking and how you conduct yourself, and I hope you respect my response as well.

Anyway... 'murica. Cornfields. Cowboys. Short ribs and grits. Budweiser. God shed his grace on thee, etc.

Yes, no problem with your response at all. Fully respected.

Well, there are probably so few female posters on here because the sport in general is overrun with men who feel they have the singular entitlement to support it. I imagine it's similar to the tribalism associated with a club's city of origin--locals often have a superiority complex over non-locals. Admittedly, I don't think that that sort of Liverpool tribalism is evident on this site, as the vast majority are respectful of individuals of all backgrounds. I have, however, almost never been taken seriously by a large number of you and it is alienating and almost exclusively a function of my gender. Alright, the original post in question was kind of silly and nonsensical, but I thought its meaning would be obvious.

Anyway thanks to those of you who didn't feel the need to poke fun after I expressed justifiable dismay at a lewd comment. While I wasn't originally offended, the comments that came after are insulting and rude, and I'm sure you would not treat me in this way if I were standing right in front of you.
