I, too, don't see Alphax's comments as anything other than
ill-conceived, rather than/as opposed to fully hateful.

I appreciate that, Fred. I am not concerned so

response to my concerns, as I am about the lack of response to overt
sexist attacks on this mailing list. I am well aware it is not
Wikipedia. Most of the people on this list are the same people as on
Wikipedia. If you call a black man a nigger in the field, you will at
least /think/ he's a nigger in the house. And don't think the attitude
doesn't bleed through, because it does.
Can someone send me a link to the archive where these attacks took place?

The attacks were an ill-considered remark from Alphax, and then my
wondering why Alphax was being lynched for what was to me clearly a mere
grumble rather than a truly hateful remark. But wait! My questioning
of their lynching revealed that I too am a vicious misogynist! From
there, the script is playing out as usual -- there is of course no
defense against a charge of misogyny; /any/ response whatsoever (other
than immediate public self-abasement followed by a good long
self-flagellation) proves the charge.
