I’ve just caught up with this thread, Josie did get a roasting didn’t he?, long time since I had such a good read.

What I don’t understand is that he acknowledges the difference between men and women but ignores it in his responses. He is correct that the sexes in general respond differently to criticism, I believe that this is because women are “people people” but men are “thing people”. In my experience women personalize much more than men, this is not a criticism , in fact if men personalised more maybe they wouldn’t go to war in such a gung ho fashion.
As a manager I could say to a male member of staff “that’s stupid” and we would discuss “it”, but a women would invariable translate this to “your stupid for doing that”, one has to adapt to the person or you will get nowhere.

That’s my 2 cents worth.

As most of the contributers were Americans I thought I'd speak their lingo.

G-"try-searching-you-moron"-Hudson is da man. When all else fails, always has a code sample somewhere to get me pointed in the right direction.

Let's not forget the endless amusement at the seemingly perpetual fracas going on between our leading rabble-rousers...and you know who you are

Yes I know, I hijacked my own thread.... Ohh, being a women isn't easy. Emotions flying, hormons raging. But we do have big hearts, and yes that is why we take stuff so personally.

Hey, but think...men do still love us.

And may I point out that it's not easy spreading your love between your wife and the Bass Tracker with the 175 merc-crusier, Lowrance depth finder, .... oh, sorry...

You're right. And it also don't ask me to cut the grass, paint the bedroom, clean out the gutters,... Oh, sorry did it again...

Yes, but it doesn't love you like your wife. Because she will still love you even when you are lazy and refuse to cut the grass, paint the bed room and clean out the gutters. You wife will love you while she is cussing you out because you are watching TV while she does the above chores herself.

Point, she will love you no matter what!

Ok, if you're going to sell me on this love thing you're going to have to loose the wild, rabid looking white cat hissing at me...
