And a hobbiest who treats a provider as such on the board has the tendency of treating a provider, SO, wife, etc the same in person. The person is the person they are.
I may have over simplified the term split personality in my previous statement. You do raise a good point, as have others on this thread that it may not be congruent to generalize those that display a disparaging behavior towards certain women on this board would associate with behavior of treating them poorly BCD. But it does beg the question why; why is it okay to belittle BBWs and older providers on the board, but have one's buddies come out and defend that person's personality as being genuine and good-natured? The obvious answer, to me, is that they are flat out misogynists. Not that they have a deep-rooted hatred of women, but are carrying over trauma involving a female figure they trusted; an abusive or negligent mother, sister, or girlfriend that pressed fear into their vulnerable minds. This kind of behavior could lead one to believe they have a split personality, but I'm not psychologist nor am I qualified to make that kind of leap.
