Gaytheist here

I agree you were responding to pippy: why should Shell B's responding be thusly invalid?

I meant that it was borderline ridiculous for ShellB to get so defensive over a remark that wasn't about her, and, moreover, was (apparently to everyone but me) obviously an example of two people not understanding each other's terrible attempts at sarcasm. I did not mean that ShellB has no right to comment on a public discussion.

Pippy attests to being a man, though there is a mild forum conspiracy that pippy is indeed a woman.

I guess the addition of the effeminate -y to the end of his handle threw me off. Whoops.
