i was hoping opinions be posted there, not because i don't want to read them (i plan to stalk that post), but because that way i know sillyandmorbid will see them.
there are actually linguistic studies to back up your anecdotal observations: men interrupt women more (particularly in public settings like the classroom), and then hold the floor for significantly longer periods of time. As a woman, it's actually quite difficult to get your say. (And then, anecdotally again, because i haven't got lx studies for this observation as I'm not sure it's testable, what women actually say is often given less consideration than that of men.)
editing with love, because i didn't have time to type it up this morning. You are very smart and talented but not full of yourself, so i'm comfortable being idiotic (as i often am) around you. We have pretty similar backgrounds in some respects, so i think that helps us get along, but even when we don't see things exactly the same way, you're cool with talking about issues and stuff, which is also an awesome trait in a person! in short, you are cool! i am lucky to know you!
