Exactly right.

This person thinks that because they can claim to be female that they are
entitled to some different treatment from anyone else on this newsgroup.

A female or any other male can call me or any male any name in the book and
never claim anything.

I have had a female on this newsgroup repeatedly throw profanity at me and
call me names and try to flame or make fun of me and yet its impossible to
give any of it back.

We have used newsgroup flames.

If you want to call it anything then this person is "harrassing me."

Do i want to call it sexual harrassment?

I guess I could.

Does anyone want to call it "sexual harrassment" when she calls me an "f'ing
knob" and I call her "toots"?

So this Sheila person should seriously seek some counselling.
