Wait... what?
You are saying some EnWorlders sent you abusive messages? Every so often I get a profanity laden rant by someone too cowardly to do it in public, but it's never happened here despite all the occasionally bruised egos and short tempers.
Abusive in what way? I mean, I generally laugh and round file it when someone vents at me like that, but was this threatening or something?
It seems a bit much and perhaps a bit of an overreaction to say that you are now going to not introduce your nieces to the hobby because of this. Perhaps think about that after you've had a chance too cool off. Any person (see the teasing of the new WoTC CEO in his thread), and particularly any young woman, is going to need asbestos armor to get through life. It's not a problem exclusive to our hobby, or IMO even particular to our hobby. The solution IMO is not to avoid introducing them to the hobby, but to equip them with the armor and strength to face those sorts of cowards and bullies.
The message was just weird. The email was definitely worse/overtly hostile. I'd rather not talk about the contents.
