I don't think it is. When I started reading it, I was thinking, oh, man, this is just someone else who can't take a joke, then I started thinking what if I was a woman whose views weren't being taken seriously simply because I was a woman?

How awful would that be.

But, then again, this happens so often in the IT world.

Since you're new here, I'll take the opportunity to ask you to check out the site guidelines (linked at the bottom of the page).

From those same guidelines: "If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did." Being new here means (in my case) that I re-read the guidelines each time I think they might impinge on a decision to post, because I'm aware that I haven't yet absorbed them into my general thinking patterns.

Also, to which guideline were you directing gregbair's attention? I fail to grok your meaning.
