. . . . . was it something I said?

Debating on how board names can be confusing because we can't always tell what sex the person is:

I just told Foggy that she's a lovely gal and should wear her tartan skirt to the London meet, as she'll look good dancing on the tables with Island in his knitted trews. Nothing wrong with that.

think the poster meant it to be serious - maybe not happy that it turned into a fun thread

I thought the thread was daft in the first place. Who cares if the person you are talking to is male or female.

If you want to reply to them then do so based on what they write, not who they may be.
Unless you want to flirt with them, or have the intention of finding a date it doesn't really matter. :-D

Regardless to that, anyone can present themselves as people they are really not, gender included. So people may not always be who they really are anyway even if you ask them directly :-0

I do think that Puss was genuinely confused as to whether she was speaking to a male or female with some board names. I sometimes feel that way too, especially when some people (and I have not problem with it) use their partner's account.

Sometimes it is annoying when you start a serious thread for genuine answers and it gets taken over as a fun thread. Sometimes people don't mind. So I expect she deleted it herself. :-)

To be honest,I didn't see any harm in asking who was male/female. There have been a few I often wondered about myself.No intention of 'dating' lol,just curious.

There have been lots of serious threads that have turned in to fun ones.
At the end of they day,if you dont want anyone to know what sex you are,dont tell lol.You just go watch what you say ;-)

Sounded like a good thread to debate. I've made errors in the past as to people's gender.However, not sure whether people need to know on here whether someone is male/female. However, it would have been interesting to see the debate.

Sorry I missed it.

~~~~~~~ to Julia. I think you're right :-D

Hope you is keeping cosy up there in the Peaks after your 'procedure'.

Wend in Sunny Sussex, but too cold for gardening :-(

I think it's 'plant a tree day' to-day too - some hope :-( :-(

SRS there actually was not a debate as far as I know, it just turned into a fun thread. But yes it is a good subject for a serious debate.

Assuming there was no RR's on it ...then it was most likely the poster of the thread who removed it.x
