Monkeyleg,
Hasn't this always been a "men's only" club? I'd like to see more women here, but gun boards are just pretty heavy on the male side. I'll wager other political boards are, too, and we talk a lot of that, here. I reject the notion that the problem is me, and not Barbara, but I am willing to compromise if she wants to come back. If you look up Barbara's complaints about my posts, it didn't seem she was very willing to reason about me. I have to admit I've been posting a lot more in the past year, so she may have been right to complain about that. But she was accusing me of things I just hadn't done or wasn't doing any more than the rest of you. If she did come back on, I'd certainly avoid addressing her with anything other than a +1, and I'd probably be less likely to get involved in a thread in which she was very active. I'm hoping to change jobs in a few weeks, which I hope will reduce my time on-line. I'll let you all know when that happens, and she might want to come back then.
