whoops!
am i guilty?
did i do the unthinkable?
packed off the simpering (so-called) female? BAD FORM!
Here, let me quote a fellow member - (regarding "Poornima")
{ "to come across a lady audiophile! And what a pleasure too!
Alas, you knew what a rare event happened
it's only guys who would appreciate it." - singular contributor Mubeen}
OMG and whoopsadaisy - what have i done?
scared off the motherlode of all information about audio and video?
or scared off a (so-called) female who had nothing to ask - or contribute - except excite the attention of enthusiastic males (whose interest must be aroused by things other than hi-fidelity audio and video)
like venkatcr says - "it does not matter who asks for information (or contributes to the forum) - male or female" (surely, one would not bother if "Cranky" was a male or a female - after all one spars with the mind on fora like these)
difficult to understand comments that follow-
"what a pleasure to have a lady audiophile"
"you do not know how precious you are"
comments such as these typify males who "go by the scent of the woman" -
and cannot see beyond that-
it degrades the concept of the intelligent mind -
and qualifies the (said) commentator to be "acting on base instinct"
after all, in a democratic forum (such as this forum) - there are only minds -
not male and female "precious" bodies and the physical persona.
for that - there must be suitable fora - such as those for bollywood/kollywood/mollywood participants and savita bhabi and such morally depraved people
