If you actually want to discuss the issue rather than dismiss it with a joke, have at it. Heatheness has a good point there, and waving it away with ridicule doesn't change that fact.
Definitely troll. Listen to the experts.
You?

She didn't leave a thread, but I'm sure she has no intention of returning ... no doubt y'all are cheering that news.

The discussion was much more civil at TTA.

And then happiness will ensue. Usually this kind of drives ends up giving restrictions to all, than to work hard to end restrictions to the few. Calling an online forum sexist for upholding a generally sexist trait of society at large is disingenuous at best and fucked up after the accusations thrown at the staff. It only makes it worse when said cruzade is spanning multiple forums. It is something as stupid as trying to build a house, starting by the roof.
I think her point was that social standards should be the minimum, not the maximum, of the forum's policy.

I'm not, I typically liked her posts. I'm feeling pretty neutral about it. Things could have been civil here too but somebody got a bit kooky with the accusations.
