OK, we've settled that one.
What the? Who settled what one?
I am off this forum for one day (a weekend mind you) and you two run off on
some tangent that is completely opposite to the questions I wanted to ask.I think its very arrogant of you to assume that I was speaking about Rick
and Bill Williams - please show me where I said that that was who I was
talking about? And now you close my topic because you are satisfied that
you've worked out your own perverted little version of it???In my opinion this is just another example of the "closed-shop, boys club"
that is CSGNet and PCT as a whole. I wonder if a man would have received
the same arrogance from you? Or maybe its because I'm a woman AND from
Australia?So does the "old-boys" club have the final say on all topics?
Michelle.
Michelle,
There is a black comedian in the UK - Lennie Henry - who has a
character who, in various different sketches, goes to interviews for
jobs for which he is totally unsuited. When he is rejected he always
asks "Is it 'cos I'm black?" The sketches always end with him getting
the job.
I don't think it is because you are a woman or an Aussie. It is an
"old boys club" and I'm surprised it has taken you six years to find
out. But, this is not an exceptional situation. Most discussion
forums are like this.
