"I'm not a 'lady' who is easily intimidated "

It inevitably comes down to that with you. Repeatedly. You argue with people on level ground, then when shit hits the fan there is Dianavan playing the gender card. No one else does, only you. I don't see where anyone has cared that you are purportedly a female, except you. Why IS that? The people who have argued with you have done so as strongly as you have with them. But in the final analysis, there you are saying "I am a lady who doesn't take crap from anyone." What the hell is THAT about? No one cares whether or not you are female. People argue because your points are on occasion irrational, not because they come from a female, but because they don't make sense regardless of who they come from.

This is not quite Dianavan's forum, so your remark that what you post is none of MY business is more bullshit from an increasingly loud and increasingly obnoxious individual. As you said, you are not in a popularity contest. Well, ma'am, you don't want crap thrown back at you, don't be so eager to dish it out.
