Keith,
We do indeed have a few dozen female members... but they don't comment as often as the guys...
Even if we didn't have female members, the no flame rule and the requirement for civil language would still be in force. There is never an excuse for being rude... or crude.
This is a safe place to visit even if your 8 year old daughter or granddaughter who can read is sitting on your lap as you are reading... and it will be as long as this forum exists--which I intend to be as long as I am breathing
I take my admin duties VERY seriously. In the five+ years that this forum has existed, I can only recall a half dozen or so that have been banned for rude conduct.
Enjoy your visits with us.
