I really appreciate that.

I have stood up to these guys in the past, but get a hard time from them if I don't just back off soon. I try not to read posts that contain that kind of info any more. It's easier for me to just avoid it. And I know, if we were all standing in a room, in real life, they would not act that way in front of the women. Whenever it gets really bad, I do say something. I don't make a big issue of it...just try to remind them there are women on the site. The other women who don't appreciate it (I am guessing) just don't say a word.
