@Intrepid,
I am certainly interested in the psychology of perception. I find some things weird: for instance, the perception that gay men and women think alike, as do lesbians and men. I don't think this is backed by research in any way.
I am interested in how a piece of empirical research can make me an attention whore, I think part of the answer is there is a belief that research is not a feminine activity.
I would welcome your comments.

@Ragman,
Well, this is all too repetitious for me. Color me gone! Mr. Green

@Ragman,
you know you really exhibit narcissist behavior and becoming pretty boring at that.

I would describe that as hostile. We are on a discussion site.I'm discussing things. I haven't forced you to do anything. Peace.

Well, given that I've posted pictures of myself and my two children, one of whom I gave birth to) and have met Joe Nation, Miklos, and David in person and spoken to Mathos on the phone - I think you can pretty easily verify my gender if you still have any question.

The truth does matter to me. I told one lie on this forum and I apologized for it three and a half years ago. I'm tired of having that thrown up as if it's been my only post. It hasn't.


i have not read all of your posts. i haven't seen your pictures and i did not know you met with anyone... why or how would i know? so if you do tell a lie, you live with consequences. it's a matter of trust - a flimsy concept especially online.

@Fountofwisdom,
Part of the discussion is that you started the thread by stating that you would answer questions honestly. I cannot say that you have been dishonest. However, I can say that you have certainly been evasive and have gone in circles without actually answering any of the questions directly.

i believe the bard said it best

"Well you walk into a restaurant, strung out from the road,
You can feel the eyes upon you as you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesnt bother you, but you just want to explode.

Most times you cant hear 'em talk, other times you can.
All the same old cliches, is that woman or a man
You always seem out numbered, you dont dare make a stand."


wait, that might not have been the bard, it might have been bob seger

OK George: I am guessing you consider me to be very anti American.

Why would you guess that?

@Intrepid,
I accept that my answers have been a bit zen. I haven't tried to be evasive but more in the spirit of a riddle: it thought this would be more entertaining. I believe I have answered all questions fully But not many have been asked.

@Ticomaya,
I've already said I am not Roxy. I find your ability to judge sexuality from this amazing: have you ever thought of trying witches: possibly in Salem. By the way I find neither being called a man, or gay offensive.

Why is this thread still going?

Is fount ever going to answer?

Do we care enough to continue this?

Who really shot the sheriff?

And did they shoot the deputy too?

@George,
You said you didn't care for me. My main critics have been for anti Americanism. I am sorry but I don't recall meeting you before yesterday.

@Fountofwisdom,
FOW, you keep expressing surprise that people are getting impatient with this game. I think the center of it is that it's extremely easy to purposely cloud your gender in this sort of a situation. It's not any particular achievement, it's not even that meaningful. (I did it for an extended time on Abuzz. I didn't make any claims one way or another but I had one account -- used for politics discussions mostly -- that had a masculine name ["RegularJoe" or something] and everyone assumed that I was male when I used it. I didn't change my writing style or purposely cloud anything.)

@Bella Dea,
Out of extreme boredom, you can do things you usually don't..

@Bella Dea,
i don't know whether you care, but you are still here, so I must be doing something right.

patience is a virtue
possess it if you can
seldom found in woman
And never in a man.

i shot the sherriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy.

It's official - I love this thread! It's turned into a big ol' hostile cocktail party. What could be better? I'm off to cook up some pigs -in- a- blanket for everyone.


(PS- I agree with Ticomaya)

Then perhaps you would be so kind to answer my direct questions that I posed.
