Quote from tampa:
Sam - when a man tells me I can not have views, opinions, and thoughts in my own forum - away from the chat room - I am not being petty in refusing to comply. When a man tries to dictate to others, he has gone too far. I no longer care about how much good he may have done in the past - I want nothing further to do with him.
To the casual observer, it appears that Woodie showed me the door - but in reality, I found it myself...

I think you are missing the big picture and you are getting caught up in the emotions of this issue too much in my opinion.
Firstly; we all know your success with the opposite sex needs a little work to say the least ....
Gio is in my opinion a real lady and you forget she is a Mother and a darn good one as evidenced by her childrens great success as people and even as traders. (you know the story)
She has been with woodie for a very long time and she works very hard in her efforts to give back to the room as much as she can.
Yes she is a strong women and yes she can come off like a school principle at times but she is still a lady of class and dignity!
No one is perfect Tampa and if you offended a lady you should at least be a REAL MAN and say your sorry even if you THINK you are certain you are right.
Trust me you will be a happier man if you treat a lady right even if it's one you don't know personally because they all stick together on this and they have scouts and sentries everywhere.....
Here is my final suggestion to you and I make no promises!
Be a real man and apologize to Gio and promise not use the traders in the room as fodder for your humor (you do a good enough job with yourself).
If you at least apologize for the fact that you offended someone needlessly and promise not to ever do it again (intentionally) I personally will ask woodie and gio to reconsider and forgive you for being a typical stupid insensitive MAN/JERK.
woodie needs to keep order in the room and he has done an excellent job of that as you have seen with your own eyes and the success of the room.
Try and see the big picture here Tampa and you may even be welcomed back into the room.
I for one will be very happy to see you back in!
