bullying on, the person and others that put up the OP absolutely deny it was their intent.

i bet half the thread was

uh hu
nu uh
uh hu
nu uh

fuckin obvious
no it isnt

ya

no

but thank you for confirming what most all of us said. it was da menz.... (ya, that would be along with wimminzzz), that were taking owner of territory, regardless of the hostility to women.

good for you lumberjack.

it has been an interesting couple days, comparing the threads of the totally awesome, powerful, insiteful, innovative, creative women to the thread featuring an ass.... presented to men.

ya think? personally, i think that is the point of growth that is so much more interesting and productive than an SI spread.
