What a way to treat a new member
-
I have to say I'm pretty depressed reading the thread (below) about the new member. Have you guys never seen a female before? Do you really need to perpetuate the myth that developers have no social skills and turn into pre-pubescent teenagers at the site sight of a woman? I am cringing at the thought of all the female developers in the world reading that thread, at all the wives and girlfriends of you guys reading that thread, and of members such as Leckey, Trollslayer, Lauren, and Corinna, just to name a few. I know you're just tryint to make fun, but no, not like this.

Well said. Those were precisely my first thoughts.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

See my response in the aforementioned thread. Apologies to all members, I was in the wrong. (I have asked Chris to delete the thread.)

I think you should keep all comments refering the the opposite sex under your hat in future - just a tip.

I would have thought this question would have been answered by the type of thread that continuously crops up in here every couple of months, which goes along the lines of... '..... I need your advise, my girlfriend is seeing someone else. Every morning, for the past 3 years, I say Good Morning to a collegue and she says Good Morning back. The conversation has not progressed beyond this point. However she has stopped responding to my Good Morning ever since she caught me following her home and peering through her windows all night. What should I do? Do you think we are still an item? etc etc In all seriousness though you are right. There are probably many female developers signed up to this site, who are afraid to make themselves visible in the Lounge for this exact reason.

I shall keep them more appropriate. I just let myself run away without thinking. Apologies have been made in general, but here is a personal one to you. Sorry if I let the side down.

Not since I moved out of my parent's home @ age 34, 14 years ago ;P

*Yawns* If you're gonna try and cause a stir about a new member, couldn't you guys come up with some new material? I've heard it ALL before, I posted a genuine question about a topic I'm struggling with, and all of a sudden there's 30+ posts about me personally. Get over it already!
A girl in Engineering AND IT?!...what is this nonsense?

May I just say welcome to the site, if nobody's done it already. More importantly, welcome to the Lounge, where we come to kick back, be immature and generally goof off. To quote a cousin of mine "Y'all wanna stop by sometime."

To be fair, some people have tried to answer the question, without drooling and going "phnerr phnerrr". That's the more usual response - after all, we are used to the ladies stopping on by here.
I'm not a stalker, I just know things. Oh by the way, you're out of milk.
Forgive your enemies - it messes with their heads

Sometimes it's better just to leave well alone. I preferred to mock Dave - it's much more fun.

Welcome, don't be put off, we are not as immature as we make out. P.S. Although you are based in the UK you look American to me, is this correct.(Please try not to be offended if you are not.)

I hope you won't let this bit of infantile behaviour put you off. This is genuinely a fun, friendly and constructive place to hang ou, and you can do a lot for your skills (and thus career) by getting involved in the community here. :rose:
