I have read many of the post here, and though I found many to be of bad taste, I said nothing.
You may find it hard to believe this, but I came to this sight after another one like this had closed down. I was drown to it by the intellect of the people I talked with. It would be great to have at lest one of them to find me posting here. I miss the long talks, and shearing of wisdom that had became a part of my life. For me to ever look up on a person in solely a sexual way would be to turn my back on all I have loved of people.
This is as you can see not an explanation. It is simply to make clear where I stand. This will not change nor will I back away from what I see as right. should this mean I am removed from the forum so be it. Though I am sure that there must be at lest one other person that thinks a topic dealing with intellect rather than sex would be a refreshing change. I will how ever not say another word about how others are treated, or talked to. As they may enjoy this. So I will stay with my thoughts, do what I can to make friends, and leave it at that.

Again, I would encourage you to explore this site before you paint with such a broad brush. I think you will find it impossible to reserve for yourself a perspective that is, in fact, shared by others here. I think you will notice that there are lots of discussions here that intellectual and not (exclusively) sexual. I think you will find that there are many others here to rise to the defense of people who are disrespected, ungendered, and otherwise attacked inappropriately.
