Pete,

Just a few words of advice, intended for your own benefit. Things that we men write up are taken differently by women, and I am now aware that your words on this forum have been considered confrontational and aggressive by some of my colleagues. Indeed, they have caused offence and distress.

We welcome anybody here to come and talk about low-carb topics, and partake of our teaching and learning, supporting and being supported "family". But we do expect people to conduct themselves in a way which is not offensive to others. It could be that you are not accustomed to interacting with women, or do not realise how your remarks are being received. I guess what I am saying is that if you were a footballer, I'd be holding up a yellow card.
