So which is it? Because I say "mute" at the end of every message, or because I go by "Wintermute?" I'm not bent out of shape or anything, but you just contradicted yourself.... Search for other threads on where the handle comes from. (cyberpunk is feminine now... but if you want further background, do a google for "wintermute crusades knight" for where Gibson may have gotten his inspiration)
I didnt contradict myself at all.
in the first post I said "saying "mute" at the end of every message is a very feminine thing to do, thats probably why people assume you are female, I sure did also"
so I was talking about why other people assumed you were female, and at the end saying "I sure did also" meant I also thought you were female.
then in the second post I said "that is just my theory on why I assumed you were female, not that you sign an abbreviation, but because 'wintermute' isnt a very manly kind of a handle to use."
so that time I was talking about why I thought you were female, not the others you had spoken of.
so no contradiction
I dont know where the name comes from, or who 'Gibson' is, it just doesnt come across as a handle that any straight male I know would use

I doubt it, if others were insulted, they would have said so.
