My Aunt's Valentine's Day card was the only one returned.

I see it as a small percentage of CM's possibly do this, just as a small percentage of tourists are stuipd enough to do some of things they talk about on that website. It can't be a generalization.

I enjoy your give and take on this board and was panicking that it might be gone. Thanks for hanging in there.

I worked someplace where the staff started doing this sort of thing and it escalated into rowdy behavior. Eventually, after female employees started quitting, a supervisor was fired for sexual harassment and several male employees were reprimanded. It's kind of like reading LP at work: A little is okay, but you have to keep it discreet. ;-)

I understand why you created this thread though because it is an interesting piece of information. You know, if you hear a CM saying it to an unruly customer you can silently laugh to yourself. None of us have anything to worry about because we all know how to behave. Still, an interesting tidbit of knowledge.

Originally Posted By wahooskipper I wasn't making a judgment as to whether female skippers are good or bad. I was just saying the crew operated much differently when it was male only.
Originally Posted By danyoung >I didn't say it couldn't be enjoyed, I just said it was a non-issue.< For you. Other people differ. Seemed like you were trying to shut down the thread before it got started. Just an observation.
Originally Posted By gaston lives It's alright by me if you think both my recent threads are non-issues. One is well into hundreds of posts, and this one is doing quite well. I guess your thoughts do not constitute those of teh majority.

At what point did it become a board where opinions cannot be expressed without trying to make mountains out of molehills.
