In an online forum, I try to not treat men and women differently. Generally speaking, if I feel the urge to flame you, I'll shut up. And if I feel the urge to answer you, I will. Your gender has no bearing on that. Unless you use the letter U and the numbers 2 and 4 as words, in which case I'll dismiss you as an idiot regardless of gender or the validity of your question.
