Navy6587 and LeRoastBeef:
I agree and disagree with you both on disperate points
Disclosure; I disagree with Paul, administrator, and owner of this site, on disallowing female members. Having said that, I understand at least some of his reasons, thus accept his decision. For one, the chilling effect on some men’s willingness to write frankly about their personal issues is not necessarily due to “wimpyness“, I will insist.
Navy, I wish I had the opportunity to read some of those sites that you mention were rife with argumentation. On one other support group (which admitted both men and women) I saw more cooperation than disintegration. Most postings there were constructive. But it remained active for less than a year and closed.
Indeed, Navy, I find your use of the words “wimps“ and “pathetic” to be unhelpful in pressing your case. Also, the conclusion that wimpiness is the motive behind trying to silence the (valuable) voice of the female persuasion is, I think, misguided. remember, also, a female voice can be represented here, though filtered through her male partner’s posts. Women can read freely everything posted here without censorship if she desires. And her comments may be posted on her behalf by any bona fide member.
Please, I pray, let any off-topic, back-and-forth discussion, at least be civil and guided by motives searching for truth and common ground. Let the scoring of points on each other be the pastime of debate teams.
Thank you for reading.
