I'm afraid we will have to agree to disagree on this one.
The only civil way to resolve a conflict on The Odd Thread.

And uh, in 2018, you cannot just prance around wily-nilly assuming genders of users of the internets...
Just sayin.

Making assumptions is all we have until we know otherwise. Having an open mind, means we can learn if we have made a mistake. I'm okay to be corrected. I think most people are. He or She has been used for a long time. I'm sure nothing offensive was intended.
 
Now here is an odd post...

Making assumptions is all we have until we know otherwise.
True. Although I am more of an "Assumption is the mother of all eff-ups" kind of person.

Having an open mind, means we can learn if we have made a mistake.
Agreed. I also take notes and learn from other peoples mistakes. Just a weird thing I have.

I'm okay to be corrected. I think most people are.
Yep, most of the time I am happy to admit if I was wrong. The mistake gets etched in my mind when admitting.
Similar to taking notes when you want to remember something. Writing things down, not to go back and read it at a later date, but the process of writing it, embeds the topic/scenario in your mind.

He or She has been used for a long time.
Yeah. Therein lies the hidden humor poked at todays society which took political correctness from way back to a whole new level of stupid.

I'm sure nothing offensive was intended.
None of us intended anything offensive at anyone, it's The Odd Thread. We are (still - I hope) about fun here, unlike some other branches of this forum...

But I must say, trying to convey dark or hidden humor, or even sarcasm, or just disagreeing with OP just for the hell of it, doesn't quite work as well when written in text form.

Or when written by someone who is incapable to operate a motor vehicle legally...

D'aaaaaw, what a shame, GIFs are not working here :(

Yeah they do, just have to hold ALT+F4 before you hit "Submit Reply"...

More on ALT + F4...

My supervisor who is slow at typing a word document, spent half the afternoon typing up one page of handover notes for night shift...
Just before finishing up for the day, I came in his office and he asks me how to insert bullet points into a word document.

My response was: "Put your cursor at the end of the sentence of where you want your bullet points to begin, then press ALT + F4".

Which he did... then he wanted to know where his document went. I told him I hoped he saved it earlier and walked out - without telling him about the auto save feature.

Needless to say, the next day I got given the worst job imaginable, but it was totally worth it.
