RE: [DL] Ms. Brock's behaviour (OT)

["Yuri" <yuriz@twcny.rr.com>]

Ms. Brock,

We all love Deadlands. That's why we are here: to share and enrich the
game and the hobby that we all love to play. I know that you are not the
only female that is on this List, nor are you the only assertive female
that is here either.

We are all friends here. Or at least, we would like to think so. That's
why we are here. If somebody has a question, or somebody needs help with
something, we try to help them.

Perhaps we all got off on the wrong foot. I recall vividly when you
first came on, and somebody tried to help you with the Edges and
Hindrance question. That somebody (and I don't remember exactly who)
accidentally called you a male. I also recall the tirade you launched
over the subject. Sure, I would hate to be called a female, but since I
know that nobody can see me on the internet, I would understand.

Now, you request some character sheets. I know of a good source of
character sheets that are quite awesome. I think we all do. The first
person to respond to your e-mail misunderstood you. It happens. We are
all human (even if we are Marshalls). Again, you launch a tirade. 

Your tone is one of aggressiveness. You are rude, and short to people
who have a great deal of information that we are willing to share. You
have alienated Christopher (notice, I get to use his first name)
McGlothlin, and many of the other Listers. Even Afterburner is
threatening to ban you. Believe me, this is not a "rally with your
gender bias friends in a wolf pack to put me down" We are sick of your
attitude.

We should all grow up. Justin Achilli had a saying on his website
(apologies in advance) "Arguing on the Internet is like racing in the
Special Olympics. Even if you win, you're still a retard."

*I also know this ... we wouldn't be having this banter if I was a man,
it's
*only because I'm an assertive woman ... no wait, a bitch, as someone
else
*put it ... this is why I'm being ganged up on. If my attitude was
coming
*from a "man" you'd be ok with it.

Actually, if there was a man on the List who acted like this, I am sure
that he would get the same treatment. We've called out people who've
used profanity and other abusive phrases here. Check the history.

*Ah yes ... the classic wolf pack attitude email. Good for you Bryce,
rally
*the troops against the woman ... long live censorship and a man's
world.
*God forbid that a woman speak her mind. ... ROTFL
*
*Just remember free speech is allowed ... and if my attitude is so
*intolerable to you, well I'm sure you can find the DELETE key. But
maybe
*you choose to battle with in this immature fashion. 

Actually, the DELETE key may be the least of your problems. I abhor
censorship in almost every case. We are all adult here. Seeing a
different point of view is useful. But having somebody so belligerent on
this friendly List is not what we want.

The choice is yours. 

Yuri
