I have to say I have been really impressed by this group. It is a big target, an easy target -with a giant yellow smiley face on it.
In the face of all the nasty rhetoric aimed at men and disguised often under the title of Feminism (not quite sure the relationship between tearing down men and promoting equality), it is sometimes hard to maintain one's equilibrium and that is true for me as well.

Men DO have issues that need to be discussed and sadly our culture does a poor job in preparing men and allowing them to be open. You can feel the same pressures to shut up here. "Stop whining", etc. But this group allows us to do so in a supportive and protected environment.

WarrenDeMontague and LumberJack have set a great example for me and I will try to walk in their footsteps.

Mostly, I just want to say that it is an honor. Thanks.

Bonobo is a solid choice. I'd also like to thank the other hosts for their contributions. I don't post here very often but I read all the threads and I appreciate this group.
