>>"Are you defending Majestic views toward men or are you defending her from people attacking her."
My opinion that Eve's board should be 100% female comes from a time when it was 100% female. To the best of my knowledge, I was the first male on the board. (I could be wrong about that.) See this message from February 2007:

I don't really know Majestic. I was just replying to a post. As far as defending her, yep, that is what it turned into. I think that everyone who attacked her just made matters worse and showed to me that they were acting hipocritical. I don't agree with the comparisons that many have made concerning Nazis/Jews/Alies, etc. (I will elaborate in the other thread when I get some time to write it - I'm out of time tonight.) It has been thoroughly blown out of purportion.
>>"She called me an idiot for no real reason and I thought that was ridiculous. Do you feel she was right in all her post?"
I couldn't find the post you were referring to, but it doesn't really matter, does it? You're not an idiot. What else matters? If someone resorts to name calling, it seems most efficient to me to simply ignore them. Why get dragged into it? Would you agree?
>>"I'm not going to lie and say your post didn't offend me. I was a little upset and hurt, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I have the right to disagree. Although, I was upset, I couldn't judge you because I wasn't sure if you were being sarcastic."
I'm not sure which post you are referring to - do you mean the one above where I labeled it as intended to be humorous?
>>"I just hate to seeing once respected users getting a negative image on the site."
On the respect (or once respected) issue, we are well past that now. One particular user really emphasized it in several posts. I think that she has an agenda. The question is if I really care. To understand my answer, look at who does not repect me - people who encourage men to be women. People who think that an immoral lifestyle is just as valid as a moral one. Who can respect that? What have I lost?
It is not my intention to offend you. Please accept my apology if I have. But also please understand that if I have an opinion on something I think is important that differs from others, but remained silent, who would respect that?
