You know John you don't need to apologize for anyone but your self!
If you don't F'n get it... I don't know if I can explain it to you but I'll type real slow.
The INTERNET is full of information that the same if not better answers to her questions can be found without invading our small very small corner of the forums.
Men post on a multitude of other forums IE. state forums, rny, lapband, etc.. Their are even boards that discuss depression.
This is what caused some of our best contributors to leave and frankly they have left a void!
So don't be so quick to give away something others have worked so hard to create! Bob
Hey Bob, I've been a member here for 2.5 years and I've seen some asshole posts on here by women who dont respect the purpose and intent of the board, so trust me, I ******g get it and dont need anything explained by you. In fact, I'll be the first to admit that I've come to the defense of this forum quite a few times when that has occured, and have gotten pretty nasty with some of the posters here. She came to a place where it's all men to get advice on a male take on a serious issue, that is all, not to invade, flame, etc., etc. Give her a little credit. Whatever happened to being a gentlemen??
This kinda **** is why so many people are fleeing OH in search of other support forums. It's also pretty childish.
I ask why I'm even bothering to respond to your asinine attack, but hey, in your words, I guess I'm slow.
But you have a nice day all the same.

Hey John,
Here's my take (again) on this issue for what it's worth. First of all, you let one woman post here with what is perceived as a legit "man" issue, then the floodgates open up and we end up with another TunaTown. In this case, depression / hormones.....ok....great...bla...bla...bla.
Most of these WLS issues quite frankly are relevant to both men and women so they're all frickin' "legit" in one form or fashion. Let me add that most have been covered here before so, in this case, all one has to do to find about a man's perspective about depression is to search for depression and look at the prior threads where's it's been discussed.
Secondly, ff you're inclined to flee OH because of this kinda **** by all means do so. I for one choose to remain here and help (and be helped) by fellow men without having to deal with all the TunaTown noise. Additionally, I feel the women can be helped by viewing the posts here in the locker room. As a matter of fact, I've received many, many pm's from women telling me that very fact. No need to lock them out from viewing the threads here imo.
Finally, regarding the attacks on women, I think we've dialed these down to a level which I perceive to be courteous. It's always hard to tell someone to get out so feelings will be hurt no matter how polite the request. Some women respect our right to have our own space, others don't. The ones that don't are the real pain in the ass quite frankly and sometimes you just have to be rude.
So, if you want to allow women to post here openly and freely with their "legit concerns".....great, that's your right but I'll fight you every step of the way to prevent it from happening.
Have a nice day,
Boner
