As to why it would rate a response, I was
thinking Fred's assertion
that
"we should be on the lookout
for bias or other bad behavior towards women editors and do what we
can
to mitigate its effects" might actually include discouraging blanket
attacks on women.
It does. But especially to targeting people in the manner of
Wikipedia Review.

So where is the limit, Fred? Attack women on the mailing list, ok. Call
them a cunt, that's ok too. Say all women are idiots, that's ok. As long
as we don't out their personal information? Where is your line for "bad
behavior" drawn, precisely? There has been a thread for a couple of
months about the imbalance of the ratio of men to women editors for
months now, and I am saying attacking women /because they are women/ is,
to put it mildly, off-putting. Its beyond uncivil. It is, as David
Gerard's friend pointed out, "hopelessly patriarchally biased and
useless to harmful."
