>Oh well come on now. Don't be too dramatic.

Maybe a little but we have reached an impasse. I just don't see the world like you do, and I know you can't provide evidence for the kind of generalizations you made.

>I work with and under plenty of great men and a few awesome women, as I've stated previously in this thread that you have chosen to ignore

I didn't ignore it. There was simply nothing I could add to that. Of course you work with good men and good women. You work in tech, one of the most progressive industries around.

You sir (or madam) have just been trolled. And pleaaaase, don't be too melodramatic! The hypocrisy of that comment made me lol

I don't mind that kind of trolling. I'll just answer it straight.

I think we both realized we're just not on the same page and we simply view things differently - so there's probably frustration on both sides that neither of us can convince the other with reason and argument. And to be fair usmeteora did put in significant effort to answer my points and argue their cases prior to the last 1 or 2 messages.

Oh I got you. I can read and it wasn't very subtle. I chose to acknowledge what I wanted to acknowledge and ignore your facetious, condescending and sarcastic points. Why do you think I made the point that we've clearly hit an impasse in the debate?

Generally speaking, I found that playing it straight (even if the other person is not serious) tends to keep the conversation civil and more often it is more interesting for me to debate the issue - even if you are just a sounding board.

Well..thank you for this very informative conversation :)

Lordy.
