Keeps the mind focused. If we never had another hill to climb or something to work towards, life would be boring and we would all too easily get stuck in our routines. Always push yourself, stay focused and never stop. Happy new year. Well, it’s always good to have something to work towards! Keeps the mind focused.

I don't make it a habit I promise. It was mentioned to me by three worried staff members. They didn't think mentioning gay buttsecks on the main page was appropriate. It's not the content we were worried about so much (It's a free country after all) More just the way it was written - It's not a personal blog after all. You might think I'm being overly sensitive and yes, you're probably right. But, It was brought up as a concern, by no less than three separate people, so better to be safe I guess. If you could find the time to re-write it, we'll make it a featured article for a week or something. yeah, sorry about that, it was my call to remove it. I don’t make it a habit I promise.

I also don't appriciate being censored on my own station behind my back. I posted the rant there because I was genuinly interested in what people would say and the discusion it would garner.

I was just celebrating that we have more presenters from the opposite sex. It's important that we keep a balance of male/female presenters to appeal to the largest possible demographic. It works the other way round as well, if 90% of our presenters where girls and we had a male DJ Join, I'd mention that as well. Strictly speaking you're right when you say it doesn't matter what sex a person is, more their ability to do a job is what's important and I completely agree I personally couldn't care less. The comment wasn't meant as a "hey look!! a girl!!!" more of "we finally have more girl's joining us!" I think I could of phrased it better - but it's funny how people assume the worst.

I thought EXACTLY the same thing when I saw the G3 Radio post about having a new "girl" DJ. Was like why the hell does it even matter? As a pretty hard core online gamer (Halo, EVE, etc) I get it ALL the time. Actually if you check my corp (like a guild) history in EVE you'll see I don't last long. Mostly cuz of some idiot who thinks online sexual harassment is totally ok. Then he gets backed up by everyone else's silence. Worse yet? Comments to "grow a thicker skin". The internet is supposed to be the great equalizer, doesn't matter what color your skin is, what race, what religion, what gender... you're an online presence with only your words. Sorry done ranting now. Lol. You know what’s funny? I thought EXACTLY the same thing when I saw the G3 Radio post about having a new “girl” DJ. Was like why the hell does it even matter?
