I don't understand, and maybe some can help, what exactly is it that I'm doing wrong or proving that I am a misogynist and treat these providers in the wrong?

So, hoping to the quoted question, I started looking at poplips' reviews for examples. I recalled the dumpster incident rubbed me wrong, but the actual review I checked first was titled "bamboozled". Good choice, because I didn't have to read long.
What stuck me quickly was not a respect or misogyny issue, but just how bogus the writing was. I didn't believe what I was reading, and I disliked the tone of the writing. Were I hearing this, instead of reading, from a man in person before me, I would quickly stop hearing words, and hopefully politely smile while praying to be relieved of the noise.
I called you out on respect the other day, and I stand by it, but I will add that in this hobby and in these forums there is a lot of misogyny. Pretty well unavoidable considering the subject matter. I am sure Gloria Steinem wouldn't have to go far through my posts to find some disrespect.
But I still find myself incredulous. Even if half of what you say is true your style of communication betrays it. But you entertain OSD, so more power to you.
Even a complete bullshit review provides some info to the astute reader.
