I must ask, you are new here ?

the "get thee to a nunnery" is harmless. Just like the saying, "If you cannot
stand the heat get out of the kitchen"

Yes I think it was gender targeted. cause you are female you got a female
specific quote.

Maybe which happens here there is a confusion in the language. Some people do
not understand words or saying used by people from other countries and cultures.

So getting back onto computer chess. What specifically do you like about
computer chess. maybe you can post some things you might think will contribute
to this place.

We have had the female AND male debates before, they both get boring fast, and
is not really a place to air it in this forum. I am sure there are plenty of
gender abuse chat places you can find on the net.
