Responsibility.You good regular male posters now have this in your hands.There exist posters on here both female and male who make me whince.The female ones I have always challenged.So the guys out there who care, now is your time to actually put this right.Over to you all.Thanks for trying.Kate.Hi Tera.Let's give them time.I expect they are busy but trust me they will reply.Hi Happy.Knew you would be there.So what can you do to prevent women on here who post thinking guys like you do not care.Happy I know differently it is not me you have to convince.You answer well.You ask good questions and rightly put down folk who do not think.Come on Happy as someone I respect as a good contributor what can you do.Troll Shark I have no need for you to hold anyone in check for me.My question is merely if there are rogue male questionners out there attacking because it is fun and they attack without informed opinion or wit then they will not listen to me but they will to you.Ronnie.Resposibility was used in it's purest form.As a title.Grammar and me grew up together bless as my friends here in the UK say.May I take this opportunity to sincerely thank whoever the 2 people were who reported me to Yahoo regarding my question.Yahoo and me are dealing with this as I type this now.Sorry you failed.Rebel F.I do apologise but I have never responded to being called"Dearie"I find that totally demeaning so please if you repond in future, I am Kate, just me but woman who has lived and got the T-Shirts.Thanks Super Ruper for that, been busy posting here but will look and get back.Hi Super Ruper.Just posted my response.Thanks for pointing it out but I would have responded in exactly the same way even if you hadn't.Rebel F.You now need to appreciate that you never call someone"Dearie"in the UK.I have taken total exception to this.I will never be your"Dearie".I have lived too long to ever be addressed in that manner.What does this inform me of you?You have no manners because if you had you would have apologised and stated it was a fact of language seperated by miles that caused you to refer to me in this manner.

I see you don't have a whole lot of answers here....lol!Maybe it's because you have categorized men's contributions here into either"good"or"bad"? (Isn't there a room for a"grey area"in between?) And how would you define what is"good"or what is"bad"? Your question is kind of vague, not very clear.(Please, take no offense. I'm just trying to help.)*peace*EDIT: Actually Happy, I was kind of defending them here, just a bit, and trying to get more clarification of the question she's asking, because I'm not sure if any of us really know what it is...lol!EDIT: Kate, I just read what you said to Troll Shark. I don't think that men who post most of that kind of stuff are interested in actually listening to anyone, male or female. They just want to rant, and hear others agree with them. I suppose it would make for an interesting sociological experiment, though...because who knows, I could be wrong.

Tera, leave Kate alone she's just trying to help.Rebel F, I hope you feel better about yourself for using such disrespectful and misogynistic language to refer to Kate. That was uncalled for.

I don't understand.You want me to hold the men in check, on your behalf?Say it ain't so, K-Lo!

And the question is? Oh Kate, katie, kitty-kat! What happenned to grammar, word order, punctuation, and all that? Ok, I assume you meant to say,"What is responsibility?"Responsibility is when a man holds himself accountable for his actions.
