Mr. Hollis, you have not destoyed any images.  My main point is that I
think that certain postings within this group seem to take men to task
for each and every woe that has befallen this planet and the persons
living thereon.

I think that attitude stinks!  Certainly there are a number of persons out
there that are sexist.  Some are men, some are women.  The person who
posted the initial information for this game has often posted items that
were considered by me to be extremely sexist.  Sexism is sexism, regardless
of whether it comes in the male flavour or the female flavour.  It still
stinks.

But what stinks more is the hypocrisy of many of our more militant feminists
who think that making sexist comments regarding the attitudes that THEY
have "perceived" will rectify the situation.  The only thing that it does
is probably piss off more people that are sitting on the fence.  I'm
not a fence sitter --- I actively work for women's rights in a variety
of different capacities.

And I think that if you review any and all of my postings in this group
you'll find that I haven't been sexist (okay, a little bit too sarcastic,
maybe....) in any of them.  I am for equality.  Not this attitude of
knocking men continuously in the hope that the world will see how much
better the world would be without "men" and putting women in their stead.

As for your game, I can certainly appreciate your attitudes regarding
one of your creations.  However, my micro-flame had nothing to do with
you, or the game.  It merely was me expressing my aggravation towards
someone that, I felt, posted something merely for its "aren't women really
cool, aren't men just the pits" attitude.

I apologize for any personal injury that you might have felt.
