I first encountered Livius Drusus at IIDB. LD's posts were intelligent and precise. Reading the posts were aha moments for me in a lot of different ways.
I thought I had moved forward as a person. I thought I had progressed beyond the traditional and backward thinking of my ancestors. Now for my admission, I made the assumption that Livius was a male. By coming to this forum, I gradually came to the realization that Liv is not male. To all you wankers who let me refer to Liv as "he" in chat and did not correct me-shame on you!
:D

LOL.
I honestly don't remember you referring to her as a 'he' in chat or I would've corrected you. Don't feel bad about the sexist pig part, though. Most people think I'm a guy too. :)

Damn it! Damn it!

Is there a class I can take for my obvious sexist tendencies?

well, if you read something incredibly articulate and insightful it is only natural to assume it was written by a guy. :D
seriously, you should have just said that since most people are male online you made that mistake. that excuse so makes you sound less sexist.
and liv does use a name with some pretty obvious male latin endings.

Yes, in all seriousness, beyelzu's right, of course, that my handle is distinctly masculine. I chose it when I was a total internet n00b and didn't even think of the gender ambiguity issue, but as soon as I started posting I found I rather liked being assumed to be male. It's far better than the opposite, I assure you, particularly when your aim is discussion rather than socializing.
So really Ex-zombie, you're not a sexist pig; you were deceived. The woman tempted you, baby, and you did eat. :giggle:

Awww, that's okay, Ex-Zombie..after all, that's a pretty realistic looking strap-on--ummm..I mean...yeah, Latin name with male sounding endings and stuff...
:wink: :D

I was reading through this thread again and I noticed the reason for your edit, I imagine that you're feeling pretty foolish about that little mixup, particularly considering your, shall we say, anal retentive language nazi tendencies.
:D
Speaking of which, can we get a language nazi smilie, if you're not too busy with joep's billion smilie requests.
