pissed? email bomb? WTF, man? I said it was sad. I said it was discriminatory. That is my point of view. As far as the amount of work it would take too allow it, it wouldn't be much more if the software had been designed with it in mind in the first place. I have 12 years of experience backing that opinion, and I can go into any amount of detail you want. You could use news story template with placeholders where pronouns could be droped in or you could just write two of each story snippet and chosse one depending on sex. Saying its too much work, if true, is due to a lack of design forsight more than anything else.

And IMO the wheelchair comment is WAY out of line. I should be able to express my opinion without having someone ridicule me for it. This board is for game-related discussions, and is should not be a place to bash people for expressing an opinion.
