being female,.I have witnessed the good old boys club in action, in grade school, middle school, high school and college. People like you, being immature, practice in the work force. It goes like this-- Total insecurity and wanting to belong to the "ruling class" and violating your own personal beliefs in order to stay in good standing with the people you perceive to be in power. The LOL, was just a sample, when someone attacks the perceived ruling class, you come to the aid and show you are ONE OF THE BOYS, and want them to know you are WITH THEM
Of course you will deny, but that is OK, I understand the good old boys syndrome, used by bully's, racists and all people who feel inferior
