Arakan, your issue with members on this site being rude to 'females' is a little shallow to say the least. You will find that the ones that are 'abused' are the ones who quite openly use this site for the purposes of finding a date. Or quite often the ones who have not read the notice on the front door, not bothered to see what actually goes on in here or are generally the mad cat owning spinsters who have no contact with other life forms except for whatever lives in their shoe box. The ladies who do not fit any of the above are treated with respect and on an equal footing.
One can only be judged from ones posts. There is no predetermined impression due to sex, colour or appearance. If someone acts a tit, they have the shite ripped out of them....as is the way within the armed forces. You should know that after all.
I do however agree with you reference the walt issue. It appears it is the new buzz word on here. Due to this site not having a membership policy or even any form of 'military only or closely related', any tom dick or harry can join. It's a popular place and is increasing in its popularity. The problem arises when you have lots of different people who think they are like minded, brought together on a pseudo military website. It is I suppose like an online 'Guns N Ammo'. Everyone from wannabe cadets to Maj Generals post on here. Sometimes it is difficult to sort the wheat from the chaff.
I find it amusing when a spotty faced erk accuses another spotty faced erk of being a 'walt'. It seems to have lost meaning.
I'm a walt. I'm walting as a civvy. I pretend every day at work I'm a member of civpop.
