I agree with you Rachel. I was I’m the chatro when those nasty comments started showing up.

I’ve experienced something similar. It really gets annoying and offensive. You wouldn’t believe how many times I get comments from new clients – all males from respectable web agencies – about how they can’t believe I’m a woman who codes and they’ve never met one in their entire lives….I feel like replying “And?…” as I don’t see how that is relevant to business. What if I had said “I can’t believe you’re black! Or I’ve never seen a Mexican code before?”

Wouldn’t that offend them?
