Hey Michelle JD, don't worry about it. If someone can't take a joke, then they need to learn to lighten up. Sleep well tonight!

What a goon! Don't put any stock in what he/she said, we appreciate your (and everyone else's) contributions, and I don't see how anyone could read your sig and get offended, unless they were completely humorless.

I got $5 that says it was Mr. Bates! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

Don't sweat it Michelle, some people just like to have something to be pissed off about and today must have been your turn to be the target.
Never apologize without knowing why. (unless your married)

I think its cool that you are a girl, and in being so are at an obvious disadvantage to the rest of us men here but still find it in yourself to work on your own car with as much if not more success than everyone else.

all kidding aside, you and what ever beliefs come with you (except maybe being JW... remember that thread guys... oh man) are welcome here.

Michelle, honestly, if you let people who are bothered by the things you say get to you, then you, like them, shouldn't mess with these online lists...there are so many people with too little time on their hands just looking to pick fights or get offended...in all reality it's a way for them to burn time in their unfulfilled lives...sort of a justification for their otherwise fruitless lives. So let it roll off your back like coolant off your overflow reservoir and don't worry about who takes offense. Personally, as a mysogenist held in check by his lovely beer fetcher...er...girlfriend, I love your tag line...overachievement is the foundation of all success! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

You know guys, I never dreamed this was over my sig line. I'd've never answered his/her PM and wouldn't have bothered all of you. I thought it must have been something I said. My sig line is a bumper sticker for crying out loud! I saw it and thought it was funny. I am a feminist, but I don't hate men. Some of my best friends are men <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> Thanx for your support. I do wonder, being the only woman on the board, if I'm ruffling some feathers. I like you guys and I like being here. Thanx for being good friends.

Someone once told me "People who want to be offended never leave disappointed."

It seems appropriate...

Personally I find your sig line admirable.

I have 5 daughters and we try to instill that very attitude in them.

Whenever there is a female that has risen above the norm, we try to bring it to our girls attention. World leaders, Politicians, Astronauts , Humanitarians, Athletes are all discussed at the dinner table. We try to supply them with positive movies that have a strong female roles, Aaron Brockovic, Tomb Raider, etc. and not the degrading RAP or should I say cRAP flicks.

So don't worry about it......you go girl.

While I'm against personal attacks (unless the SOB DESERVES it) I do wonder how many of these sympathetic posts would exist if M-JD were a guy..

Andy... LOL!!

Michelle: don't worry about it. Some people on message boards have issues. You did nothing wrong with your sig.
