Hyper, cranky, can't sleep -- need advice.
We can thank the numb skulls at OH.com for the increase in she-devil traffic brought on by their "we didn't delete it" post over to the rants and raves board. Hmmmm.....wonder what type of "female" posts on the rants and raves board? 
Oh' by the way, the numb skulls can take the time to move "negative" threads over to the bowels of hell but they can't take the time to put up a sticky for the men's locker room designating this as a mens only forum.
One more thing. I wanted to thank Laurie who was the one female in the locker room rants and rave thread who had the courage (and wisdom for that matter) to say why the locker room should be reserved for men only. Laurie said:
"I feel the same way about the "Boy Scouts", girls shouldnt be allowed. Same of course for "Girl Scouts" no boys allowed, yada yada...Ya gotta have a place to call your own, ya know?"
Good job, Laurie and thanks for respecting our needs!

Hi John,
Enough advice has been given by the men for Dan. I think Dx said it best.
Better things to do on this beautiful Florida day.
There's 
out by the "Tilt-A-Whirl" to be mopped. and animal 
to be scooped up by the pony ride.
CHOP CHOP, Carney 
We all talk about not wanting the drama, yet how much are we contributing to it by replying to these childish posts? The response is simple - the women who posted to Dan telling him he is PMS'ing and needs some Midol are completely out of line. It has nothing to do with their gender, it has to do with the fact that this is a support forum, and the originator of this post has some very serious concerns.
There is a "REPORT" button at the bottom of each person's post, and that is how to deal with it. Report them, and if you feel very strongly about it (like I DEFINITELY DO about the completely ignorant, mean-spirited responses to the person asking for help in this post), then follow up with the OH staff. I have their phone number, and if I don't get a response to my email tomorrow, I intend to call them.
Anyway, I just really want to encourage all the wonderful guys on this board to remember why we are here - and that's to give SUPPORT and INFORMATION to each other. The issues brought up in this post are EXTREMELY important ones, and very very common. And, by staying focused on the real issues, we not only help the person with the original post, but the dozens and dozens of people who "lurk" and read the posts without ever posting.
Just giving my two cents - unsolicited as usual....

Your humor and quick wit have me laughing every time i come to the board, baja - so, please don't think i'm asking you or anyone else to change anything about the way we conduct our manly selves here on the men's forum.It just makes me sad to thnk that a subject as serious as this one has turned into a ***** fest because a few women with issues decided to wander over and stir up some **** with us (YET AGAIN!)...........
So, let's all keep on truckin (isn't that what men do???) - and, for those of us who need the extra help with emlotional/psychological issues - let's hope that we can get past the "men don't need therapy" stereotype that's out there, and get the help and assistance we need.
Thank G-O-D I was able to get on anti-depressants after surgery (and, trust me - i never would have DREAMED that i would need them). In fact, I see my shrink this morning for a med check....
Hang in there guys - this journey isn't a piece of cake (even a low carb cake) - but, it's worth all the hard work we put into it!!!!!!!!!!
