    Misogyny isn't the right word, but it's certainly a long way from fairness.

    You're a male of the species, and fairly much optimised by natural selection for this, so a retaliation is not in kind, it's an over reaction, chances are your punch will cause much more lasting damage than hers will.

    It's exactly this behavior which has me ( and I believe much of the *rest of the world* ) worried about a large, fading, greedy empire.

    I was raised to 'pick on someone your own size', and by the looks of things, when you've finished hitting girls, there's an angry bear for you to take a swing at.

    It's, for me, very similar to the awfull, seemingly automated garbage trolls here on /.

    Sure, I can read at something above -1, but it's just ugly to have something tarnishing what a lot of people put a lot of time/effort into.

    It's in game spam, in a service that I pay for.

    I think one of the things that geeks do best, is follow their obsessions, whatever they are, and no matter what others think about it.

    I'm unhappy with anyone trying to tell me what defines a once hurtful, and since reclaimed label, and I can't agree with the elitism proffered, I'm a fairly hardcore computer graphics geek, but I come to /. for the areas where I'm a happy enthusiast; physics, robotics, space exploration, law...

    Enthusiasm is in short supply, and should be encouraged, and I think that Wicko had it right. While in the smaller picture, there is a great deal of fiddling, delving and experimentation ( see romance ) the larger urge is to make something better, often meaning 'to have things done for us with as little effort as possible.'

    What are you writing these excellent 'geek' scripts to do ?

    IMHO, and with my brand of geek, I like to explore the intricacies of doing math at the graphics card, with the expectation of an emotional response from the human viewing the output, and I have no knowledge, or desire to compile and build my own OS.

    Please look at what you're contributing to the site, I'd rather read honest, infectious enthusiasm than another random person getting angry because someone dares to affront their ego.
