LOL............. Yes I can see the headline now, "55 year old Canadian man poses as a woman online for 6 years, fools hundreds, posting pictures of glamorous models he pretended were her. Kills her off online, and is now posing as her 16 year old adopted daughter. |

It is easily explained; men are from Mars, Women are form Venus. aka_sam knows this and played it perfectly with the introduction of the nubile "Allie". |

I find it hilarious that as long as you all thought he was a pretty girl everything was ok. That is your interpretation. I have mine. Gender issues are really important and just because I am the only one who is bringing them up it doesn't mean I am "stuck" on them, it means I am the only only one bringing them up. It is the elephant in the room here. Its pretty obvious to me that that is part of the issue because it shaped how people interacted with her. It shaped how much people trusted her, and god knows it made a lot of the guys here go all gaga and protective over her. :D We got a girl cat once and called her Nora. We loved her so much and then we took her to vet and it turned out he was a she. The weird thing was how much that mattered and how upset everyone was even though it was just a cat we were talking about. Nora didn't change, but our attitude to Nora did. He kept his name (because after all he was a cat and its not like they answer to their names anyway) and somehow the name Nora became masculine in our heads. Gender is so pervasive and it really, really matters. Do you really think I haven't noticed that people talk to me differently depending on whether they think I am male or female? I bet everyone would have spoken a lot differently to Kenzie if they realised they were talking to a guy. Very few people use their real names, we always knew that Kenzie wasn't her real name. The only thing that really is different is that Kenzie wasn't a she. So yeah, I talk a lot about gender issues on a male dominated forum because I know I'm not preaching to choir and know that these are the people that need to hear it. Suck it up. I'm not planning on dropping it any time soon. :) Reality Internet Personality |

You are born and then die at some point. What one does in between those events is what counts. Regardless of how anyone sees this issue, credit due to "KenzieB" in keeping us all entertained for seven years. No fraud or criminal intent was involved so what is the problem? |

I always tended to think of intellect before what sex a person is. Educated and informed people can be either male or female, as can those without those qualities. The person representing Kenzie had the intellect and knowledge that separated him/her from many. Even though there was deceit, there was also understanding. Steve Warning, addicted to SETI crunching!

No need to dig, got superb recall. Totally enjoying your comments regarding your views of women. If they weren't so sad, I'd laugh! |

Was Nora the one that hated everybody? No Nora was the best cat I ever had. He was the one that would drink my tea and turn on my radio in the middle of the night if I forgot to feed him. He was a very smart cat. Reality Internet Personality |
