Philips:

I never said you did. I am just saying that you post was a general cry for help about a situation that seems beyond your capacity to deal with and such emotional fragility might make people wary of participating in a discussion with people such as your self. Since the topic is about the lack of womens' presence then I proffered a reason why that might be the case.

"I can speak on behalf of the regular women contributors
who have left."

But there are others who you cannot speak on behalf of so my point still stands.

Dear phanto,

I am pleased to inform you that my post was not a cry for help. I thank you for your concern anyway. It was very thoughtful of you.

Philips:

"I am pleased to inform you that my post was not a cry for help."

Well you would say that wouldn't you?

Dear phanto,

If you doubt the truthfulness of my words, then please state how an objective interpretation of my post can only lead one to the conclusion that it was a cry for help. It would be quite illuminating for myself, I am sure.

Dear phanto,

I am not speaking on behalf of others
so my points still stand.
