I wasn't gonna get involved, but this thing exploded into a shit storm and frankly I'm annoyed by this post. The problem with your post is it that it makes you come off as a condescending douche towards males. Maybe you were well meaning, or maybe you're like someone else said and you're just trying to appeal to female gamers, at this point I really can't tell. It's really this simple, did you actually expect this post to be well received? I mean, you basically gave a bunch of (mostly male) gamers a list of what they're doing wrong, and made assumptions which, while not completely unfounded, are stereotypical and frankly insulting. Plus, you assumed that all female gamers are created equal, and that they're all bothered by boys being boys. I've met plenty of girls online who are just as crude and/or just as flirty as guys. Sure it's not all of them, but it's also not all guys either. And come on about the sex jokes man, have an appreciation for humor. Do you see how you touched a nerve here? Perhaps the biggest problem here is that you, rather condescendingly, pushed your 'superior' moral code on other guys, which is pretty self-righteous of you and of course the natural reaction obviously was, "who the -blam!- are you to tell us what to do?".
