When I have taken part in HearMe there has been nothing but a friendly, supportive welcome from the other participants, regardless of gender. If anyone wants to set up a separate room as well as the song circle room, fine, but I'm happy with the mixed session!
I find it very sad that Jon, and others, have been upset by comments made in this thread, when all that Jon's been trying to do is to help us to share some music together.
