@Fountofwisdom,
anger? at you? as i said before, this thread does not rise to that level of my interest. sorry to disappoint. sure, it's entertaining, but that's about it.
patronising would require me being condescending to you. i am telling you that you seem troubled to me and wishing you the best in your quest whether here or elsewhere. not sure how on earth you got bullying out of that, but oh well. i will not twist your arm. i sincerely hope you will think about the emotional reaction you had to my post...
my words were certainly NOT intended to demean and humiliate - that may be your perception, in which case there is a miscommunication . do not assert my intentions on my behalf.

I suggested asking questions, then deducing from my answers, my gender. I really didn't want a load of frankly obnoxious patronising piffle.
You are not qualified in Psychology, to any level. Or you wouldn't say any of the things you said. You were talking nonsense. Your words were intended to demean and humiliate. That makes you a bully. An inadequate. I despise you.
Question your anger. And your assumptions.


Based on this post, as well as others. Your claim to a psychology degree is certainly questionable. Regardless whether you are a man, woman, chimpanzee or gorilla ... you would be treated the same.

@Fountofwisdom,
Some simple gender neutral questions in three areas that will reveal much. No evasions allowed.

1. Do you wear a scent regularly? That means cologne or perfume, not a scented product like deodorant. Do you splash it on or spray it?

2. Have you ever had a flat tire? Did you change it yourself? Why did it go flat?

3. Have you ever written a letter to Penthouse? Have you ever read letters to the magazine?

@The Pentacle Queen,
I respect your opinion but disagree. I think listening to people is important. I think condemning them is something else. I guess its cause I'm a hysterical immature person lacking in self confidence. How could she deduce that? I am part qualified. After an hour of one to one counselling I could mention these as possibilities. Stating them like that was nasty. Just abuse really. I may have gone over the top. But I was angry. Sorry.

I am assuming from your cautious attitude you have some training in Psychology.



Thank you. No, I have no formal training. For the record, you should know that psychology is not capitalized. Of course, with your psychology courses and degree you would know that.

I am seeing the same mo as Aidan's posts a couple years back. Hmmm

@Fountofwisdom,
Yeah - see - loved that movie- John Cusack in his prime.

I'm going to be near London Monday - I think I can use my library card anywhere country wide now (when I lived here before it was just county wide).
Can I return the cd's to my own library though - that's the question as I won't be in London again for a while.
I'll find out though - thanks for the tip.

David...you are right. It is not a necessary conclusion.

But with an IQ of 160...she should be able to construct a sentence that doesn’t have that ambiguity.


By the by, since this thread is just about done…I just discovered that you are from NYC.
How is it that you have never joined us for coffee, a drink,
or just some park time for discussion?


The last time that I did that, Frank, was when I organized
a convention for Abuzz in January of 2002, in a restaurant
on 46th St, if I recall; we got about 6 or 8 people.
I remember u from Abuzz.

Since then, I have not been aware of any meetings,
tho I have had some posters from both Abuzz and A2K
(one of whom is on this thread)
attend dinners of the Opulent Mensan SIG at NY restaurants.

I hope that u will bless us with your presence sometime.
(I 'd quote u a date, but I don 't have one set up at the moment.)

@parados,
I don't read Penthouse or find it stimulating or read its letters page.
I dont drive a car. However I can fix a tire without bursting into tears. My dad was a garage mechanic. I would often watch him work. The most common reasons for flat tires is excessive wear, leading to punctures. Kids letting them down as a joke is also common as are damaged valves.
I wear Cologne regularly but not the very pricey kind. I wear scents rarely. But the very expensive kind. Its qualtiy that counts.

Okay, from a purely impartial assessment so far, I have observed that the thread started off innocuously enough at first and was generally light and in the spirit I think it was intended.

But as it proceeded we found more and more complaints that the subject was uninteresting or boring even as most of those expressing that sentiment stayed around for I think 18 or 19 pages now.

But more telling was the general toxicity and ad hominem that began creeping into the mix. FOW did not introduce this though he at times was sufficiently goaded into responding in kind. (I don't think we can draw an assumption on gender based on that, however, as I have seen reaction to toxic comments expressed equally by men and women, including me.)

(I am using the 'he' pronoun because I have already stated my opinion that I believe FOW to be a man.)

But I do wonder why some members felt prompted to respond with unkind or insulting comments like this:

Quote:
FOW is a woman but loudmouthed like a man and full of anger, at that.

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

My guess...woman...but a very conflicted woman with a huge attitude

Gender Challenge: Am I a woman or a man? Fount is confused on other issues, as well.

Exactly what I was thinking. Variant or deviant?

and..as to your comment about what's inside -- Well, what's inside you? Why not end the charade or game and identify? You dragged this game out beyond the point of entertainment value. Hear that sound? That's people walking away.

(Editorial comment: This was on Page 9.)

Why d'ya think so, Brandon (not that I really, really give a crap whether this naval-gazing idjit is either, but just for the sake of polite conversation...)?

I agree with Intrepid...this sort of dynamic is all too familiar. I think she/he/it has done this sort of ruse before, particularly by the tone of the defensiveness and attempts at blunting any criticism as others being hostile even when they are not.

Forgive me for saying so, but you are annoying -- as you intend to be -- but it
gets on one's nerves after a while.

it's not a choice you've offered, but i'm gonna guess douche bag

haha douche bag it is

I'm not abusing you, it just struck me as an attention ploy. Of course, I may be wrong, but i think, if you were SERIOUS about learing about gender stereotypes, you'd make another account and explore discreetly, rather than inviting people to make unintelligent assumptions on little fragments of information.

i would and do accuse you of attention seeking, and would if you were any of the following, man, woman, vegetable, mineral, hermaphrodite, transexual bi-polar midget, politician (sorry that's a little cruel)

This thread is obviously attention-seeking. A true sociological or psychological exercise would be impersonal. A sociologist or theoretical psychologist would never insert themselves as the subject of their study. The attention-seeking charge may annoy you, Fountofwisdom, but it is a valid criticism. You are being self-indulgent. There is one word which you have used more often than any other: "I".

question for you....Why in the world should we care if you're a man or woman?

This kind of statement and the generalities you make about Americans...are the reasons I conider you rude. They are also the reason that I agree you were NOT bragging when you claimed an IQ of 160. You were lying. Anyone who reads what you have to say who thinks your posts are the work of an individual with a genius IQ...is an idiot!

If I am wrong about your IQ...which I seriously doubt is anywhere in the genius range...why don't you start acting and posting commensurate with the gift. If you are the immature, conflicted girl I suspect you are……keep right on posting what you have been posting. It really is entertaining……and as even you suggested earlier……we are here to entertain and to be entertained.

However, I don't think this is a particularly intelligent thread. Fount, you have to admit that- and the reason everyone is trying to fault you is that anyone who claims to have genius IQ is going to be picked to pieces regardless of how intelligent they actually are, and a lot of your logic in this thread is flawed.

I'm positive that I was mistaken that this would be an entertaining thread. I see no one abusing you. I see rebuttal and much deserved criticism. If you can't take the heat (of criticism), then get out of the kitchen.

(Editorial comment: The previous post was by one who left out
out of boredom on Page 9. It is now page 15. Smile)


wow, you really are a pathetic creature damn, too bad that's not one of the choices

Seriously, I don't see abuse..but I do see what I call heat and criticism. The fact that you haven't YET revealed your gender makes it annoying . What I object to I think here is feeling manipulated for the benefit of your "study". Especially when I think of a possibility that you could've been on A2K prior to this doing this same sort of debate with, say, the topuic of having sex with minors or some such hot-button topic. Not saying you did this, but that sort of dynamic happens all-too-frequently.

nasty? really? you are way too defensive and immediately jump to conclusions as you see fit... which is why i have the impression you lack self confidence and generally feel insecure in your skin.

No, I guess if you had more of a backbone you'd be standing up for yourself.


(DISCLAIMER: While I personally believe some of these to be intentional insults, I do accept the possibility, even probability, that some were intended as humor.)

@Fountofwisdom,
Some comments.

1. You reversed the questions order in your answers.
2. You didn't directly answer the questions in the manner they were asked.
3. Your answer on tires was analytical BS about why tires go flat rather than personal experience which my question asked for.
4. You didn't answer whether you spray or splash.

Quote:
I don't read Penthouse or find it stimulating or read its letters page.
This answer reveals you are not Bi-P- Bear and you were never a typical teenage boy.

The only possible conclusion is you are not a heterosexual male.
Your evasiveness on the other answers makes it impossible to go beyond that at this point.
