1. Report them to AH.
2. Don't ever give in to idiots.
3. I throw out the idea of posting their names so we can "peer pressure" them. Maybe?

Being one of the few women in the game, I know exactly how you feel.  I have had more than my share of comments and pm's than I care to discuss.  I am pretty thick skinned and try not to let things get to me, but have almost quit the game more than once over things like this.  I can handle the joking and razzing, but some get down right personal and mean about it and I have left the game more than upset quite a few times and wondered why I play the game. Best advice...report and squelch and move to another base.  There are a few people that I try to avoid in the game especially after a certain time of night on the weekend...that is when it ususally gets worse.
 
If you need anything, let me know, I will try to help.  Just remember that the guys that do this are probably living in their mommies basement and have never been in contact with a woman before, let alone talked to one.
I pm'd you also...

As one of the two people who formed the squad responsible, I wish to make it very clear that this incident is entirely unacceptable and we are going to be taking the matter very seriously.

My deepest apologies that you had this experience in our group and I hope that we can work things out so that you feel you have the option to remain in either the game and/or the squad as all our members are valued equally no matter what sex/religion/country of origin or, absurdly to even need saying, the sound of their voice.

No need for you to leave Esme. The keyboard commandos are the ones that need to go. I hope you reconsider. :aok

The first thing you should done is simply dot squelch the game ids, this would take as long as typing out a message and have non of the potential repercussions of typing a message to them.

How did they make fun of you after you PMed them?

Don't let the immaturity of a couple spoil it for you. There are ton of great people in this game. Report them to HTC and they will be swiftly dealt with. That kind of behavior will not be tolerated. Please, reconsider. I'd rather see 2 bad people go over 1 good person leave..... :salute

EsmeII,

I'm sorry that you had to go through what you did, there is nothing acceptable about the behavior of the two individuals who insulted you, and I sincerely hope that HTC does what is right in this instance. If you decide to stay, please feel free at any time to send me a PM in game or on BBS, I would love to fly with you and get to know you and do my part as a member of this community to show you the better side that exists in us. Today I am having a hard time even referring to myself as a part of this community because I will never count myself among those who treat anyone as you have been treated. I hope the darkness inside this community did not snuff out a light as bright as yours.

You have a friend in me if ever you are in need of one.

that's not something you need to know, or should even feel the right to ask.

Says who? you? If someone posts something like this in a public forum why wouldn't I feel like I could ask a question about it?

Personal attacks are no fun, but the bigger person is able to A: ignore them; and B: NOT take their ball and go home.  Seriously, getting "bullied" is not cool, but the drama is on the same level.

I hope the O/P can find it in her way back to these forums and back in to the virtual skies of AH.  Losing a player of either sex, any nationality, any political stature (yes, even you self titled communists and socialists  :) ), any creed, or any race for any reason is not good.  It would be good to have about triple the numbers playing in AH.  

Speaking of which, does HTC have a referral program of some sort???  :D
