A lot of the posts that are getting voted as abuse are not abuse. I think we all know that. For those of you that use the abuse flag as a way to "downvote" someone because your sensitive feelings got hurt, then may you have diarrhea in your pants today, in front of a thousand pretty ladies.

I thought the "Abuse" flag was just short for "Abuse oneself"

If CP'ians are truly using Abuse as a downvote, then maybe Admins should handle them. Warning/Suspensions/Beheadings are all acceptable.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

..should stop abusing the abuse-flag, before it will be removed to prevent this kind of abusive conduct. "Abuse" is not a downvote; it is a way to flag posts that are not spam, but which should be removed anyway. And that what happens if a lot of people vote; so don't abuse it as a downvote, it would make some threads unreadable for no-good reason.
Abuse-votes should require an extra post explaining the problem, with the name of the person who reported it clearly visible.

The saddest part of your post is the assumption that all of CP's readership are male.
Come to think of it, the assumption is fairly valid.

Do you know, by chance, of any reliable stats model to calculate the distribution density of angels dancing on the head of a pin?  ...and, btw, this is a statistical "Mean Math joke"

Depends on 1) the size of the angel; 2) the size of the pin; 3) the level of your belief.
If 3) is null, it propagates through the equation to give a null results as well...
