“For many people, it’s never easy to stick your neck out and let fly with opinions that might possibily twist someone’s nose. It doesn’t matter what they wear in their pants. It’s a personality fault, not a gender distinction.” — Lou Shumaker

…that there may just be a significant gender-based difference.

I’m always will to speak my ‘mind’. I do it everywhere. And, as a result I’ve got a number of notches on my keyboard for the times I’ve been kicked/banned/killed on various blogs.

At the moment, the women-folk who operate blogs have a definite edge on the men-folk operated blogs; Amy Alkon, being the most resent. [Note: That was not a misspelling.]

Andrea [I do Tim Blair] Harris and Rachel Lucas are in the mix too. All three of them over my christian ethics and willingness to express myself, as you state.

Not that I haven’t been kicked/banned/killed by guys. Even HERE on PJM, I’ve had more ‘entertainment’ from the women columnists than from the men. Just last month some woman deleted several days of comments by myself (mostly) and some others.

Hope that helps….
