... why not use Homer Simpson instead? (baka, Gordon is cool. I don't want to see a shiny hazord suit with a blob-head sticking out of it).

So far PRO_[Angel] is the only TAS player who is female, AFAIK. And she's too scared to post here (no one can blame her).

I can blame her! And those damned immigrants too!

I know for a fact that there isn't a guy on the internet mature (or whatever) enough to hold a good solid conversation with a female human that doesn't either start or desolve into either pathetic flirting or mockery.

hmm I take it you've grapled with the problem and failed sinbad?

please don't generalize about the maturity (or whatever) of every guy on the internet. There are exceptions.

No seriousely... go into a IRC chatroom with a name that's "girly" for example, "Sheila", "Lisa", "Butterfly", "SK8TRGURL" or whatever and see what kind of reaction you get... I stand by my broad generalization.

PS: Let's Be More Specific:
I have observerved the following reactions to females.

• - The most well known is the "cyber-flirt" trying to be cute and "digital-cuddly"... or at the very least an increase in "/me" commands.
  
  - Second is the "jerk", who either makes fun of the cyberflirt, or in their absense the girl.
  
  - Next is the "hero" or "fanboy", this characters purpose is to defend the girl, either from the "cyber-flirts" who he conciders "predators", in their abcence from the "jerks" who are bothering her, or in their absence, from herself... if she has by any chance mentioned anything about her real life... otherwise he lurks.
  
  - The "idiot" just acts like a complete moron, spamming the channel, saying random stuff and otherwise making no sense because he doesn't know how to deal with her.
  
  - The "empath" turns into a girl when a girl shows up.
  
  - The people who don't act like these types basically ignore her...

Sure, a lot would probably reply with:

"GIVE ME HOT BUTSECKZ!"

Or something similar, but I doubt that everyone would. Or at least hope...

-needs time to prepare an evil pose of doom-

Wow, you guys aren't as geeky as I expected...

hmm, sinbads post is coming true in a forum thread

*wonders how people will sue the /me command here*
*looks at above line*

Well, quite the same as in RL, is it not?

That doesn't mean I'm wrong... it just exemplifies the fact that females have reason to fear online interaction...

EVERYONE has reason to fear online interaction, not just females. Although they do cop a fair bit usually, put one in a moderators position and things will soon sort themselfs out...
