Rockdem, as a female, it isn't my favorite thread on here either, but the good news is there are so many threads to choose from, that it is pretty easy to avoid the ones you don't want to take part and focus on the conversations taking place in the more serious threads.
I think we should start a rate the puppy thread or something myself, because if you guys aren't following @EmergencyPuppy on Twitter, you're seriously missing out = )
