<<I wonder if they [the many contentious and assertive women here] would all behave in exactly the same way if we were all at a garden party!>> Beats me! You'd never catch me dead at a garden party!! Garden party, indeed! HoohooHaHaHAHAHAHAheeheehee.... Now, more seriously....You will run into exactly the same kind of "contentious" and "assertive" women -- and men -- at any 3-D seminar at any yearly convention of any scholarly association, for example. When people are focussed on ideas and theories that are important to them, they tend to be more "contentious" than when they are engaged in chitchat. I would agree with X that posting to the net is more of an "intellectual exercise" than your average 3-D social exchange. At the same time, of course, there are always the posters who allow themselves -- thanks to the anonymity of cyberspace -- to get carried away by "internet highway rage." But contentiousness is not the same thing as aggressive rudeness. And, in my observation at least, there has been very little of the latter on this thread.
