Frankly I dont care about the gender of any individual who posts to this or any other thread. However I am not impressed when people post and then sit back to watch what happens although I suspect this isnt the first time its happened on Mudcat. To put it bluntly that amounts to "using" people who have some interest in the issue at hand for a posters own ends.... which of course are never spelt out up front for all to see and reflect or comment on as all good academic practice does.

Regrettably the only descriptive word I can think of that even vaguely captures some of my thoughts about this kind of game playing rhymes with the word "anchor".

Cheers,

Andrez
