Do you really think a lady will admit that someone is a troll and ran her off? No, but I bet a lot of ladies have just quit posting without mentioning it. You might want to ask yourself why there are 487 showcases in the Houston forums, however there may be 25 ladies who post actively in the Houston forums, and some of those may be from out of town.You've seen countless ladies who come onto the Board, post up a lot thinking it will attract attention and drum up business, realize that posting a lot does not really translate into business and fade away. Or, they get into Board flames and burn out quickly.
Then again you may have a lady start a thread and ask an honest question, then some of our frustrated comics start talking about her starting a 'threAD', then there are those ladies make a post and she is greeted with comments about her looks or body weight. No doubt they won't post anymore unless it's ads, and to be honest, who can really blame them. Originally Posted by NOBODY60

You're giving trolls way too much credit. All anyone need do is ignore them and you take away their power.
