Deron,
Don't shoot the messenger, but I think the reason a lot of people are irritated is because it's odd that this forum remains mostly unmoderated, with insults (most meant in good humor) flying left and right (which is why I like this board, it's good to be able to be a bit crass without getting the butthurt police all over your case), but suddenly when a cute chick is the butt of the jokes, the moderating machine springs into action. I don't mean to be confrontational, and I agree some of the butthurt about the deleted posts is exaggerated, but I'm guessing the reason why people are complaining is because moderators only seem to take action when it's a cute chick that needs white-knighting.
Again, I'm not trying to be annoying, but only trying to explain why people are acting butthurt. I may be wrong about this, but it's how I see it.
Listen to the Cap'n, Eric.
