Women cannot "waltz in the door and trash the place." This is a forum for men-only and when it was brought to our attention a woman was posting here, we took action. We have rules, and when those rules are broken, action is taken. We cannot preemptively prevent women from posting here because the software doesn't allow that sort of restriction.

Both genders have been very respective of their own forums and not posting to the other's. This has nothing to do with "first amendment rights," since we're not the government. It has to do with following a simple set of rules we put in place to encourage civility and respect and remember why we're all here -- for support.

It's safe to post here and know you're only going to get replies by men to your post. The thread you mentioned was an unfortunate exception, and one that was taken care of at the time.

Thanks,
DocJohn
