Sorry to disappoint..but not me...

why is it when women talk

to men about a weird male view

men think the women had or have man issues?

I am curious as to why you guys react that way...

but I'm weird....

(Do you have a really tiny screen or what?)

I think in this case, I can't figure out why you are giving Hitman a hard time. So it must be something more visceral.

I don't think its necessarily true, it's just that some folks create that impression when their commentary deviates (often considerably) from things that have been written, filling in blanks with strange, often misplaced commentary.

When that commentary comes across as a bit bitter, and incorporates overstatements and extrapolations well beyond what have been said, its off putting to many people and it's natural for folks to think that there is some kind of psychological bloodletting going on.

Sticking to what has been explicitly said and avoiding negative conjecture tends to mute that impression, with clear minded people anyway.

In this case, the continuing insistence on wildly distorting what was originally said, then arguing against points that weren't actually made suggests that the fight certain posters want to pick is with other people entirely. Who else could those other people be but men who have caused the posters such problems in the past?

I only reply to posts that directly address something I actually said. Yours is the first one of those in a long while. ;)
