I really hope that none of us here are that desperate.

Guys - if just the mention of a female via the medium of HTML gets you that excited, it's time to turn the computer off, and get outside. Step away from the DevShed, put down the keyboard.

Did we warn/ban whoever it was? I don't think I was here at the time,
I think I was away, I just remember reading about it afterwards...

Hahaha you said it. Somebody would have to be pretty desprate and pretty pathetic to go wild at the mention of somebody's female gender.

Well, you are in a forum full of geeks. Girls aren't known to flock to geeks.

Depends how you define "honourable" I guess

@evenstar: Why don't you actually link those sites in your sig? Like this for example:

[ url=http://evenstar7139.deviantart.com]My Gallery[/url]

(you'd take out that space at the beginning) would produce:

My Gallery

I get called "guy"

Also, remember that (like where I live in California, USA) "guy" is sometimes basically a synonym for "person", and can be basically gender neutral....

Comments on this post

hope.sandoval agrees: I call my friends without penises 'dude' all the time. I don't understand all the fuss about gender.

On the contrary, I think it'd be great to show some people that a female member isn't something to be pointed at and asked for photos, but that she's just looking for/giving programming help just like everyone else. Some people are incredibly narrow-minded.
