“In targetting people who are likely vulnerable, who likely do not have large support networks, and who perhaps have mental health issues, the bullies at FreeThought Blogs run the risk of precipitating a tragedy. Bullying ruins – and sometimes ends – lives.”

…

I will blame it on myself rather than admitting it was inculcated by the idiocy of my peers.

Um. So. You’re admitting that your “peers”, who (apparently) are in favor of harassing women at conferences, have mental health issues? And you’re taking responsibility for your ideas instead of blaming their idiocy?

Well, I can get behind that! Misogyny and projection are definitely issues of mental health, so maybe your buds would consider getting some help with that.

I don’t think its a habit. I think its a form of something-lexia. People who do not have this don’t understand at all.

I’m still wondering what part of who’s statement is correct and in what way. For now I’ll assume that “His” refers to me, the blogger who write the post above. I’m glad you agree with me!

Thanks for your comment.

To move forward: knowing what I do (having lurked on this site for a while) about this site, your response means that my comment is wholly invalidated by that misuse. This is the school of ‘Nanny nanny boo boo’, I assume, and I will accept it. Also, lest it be missed, I will call myself “A selfish misogynistic idiot” before we proceed to spare your generosity further.

Now I will reiterate the relevant portion with the correction and hope that you will be generous enough to apply it to the main comment and then find another part to invalidate:

“The statement is correct, but continue on your merry ways and continue casting dispersionsaspersions, complaining, and shaking your angry fist at the heavens. I’m sure it will get you somewhere.”

Then again, there isn’t much meat to comment on in that, other than “His statement is correct, and you are whining about it”, so feel free to ignore it as you see fit. Though I daresay internet trolls can’t help their inability to ignore, as noted by my presence and your likely response.

(Yes, sexual harassers are predators. Fuck off with the “social ineptitude” bullshit; us actually socially inept people are SICK TO DEATH of it).

casting dispersions

The statement is correct, but continue on your merry ways and continue casting dispersions, complaining, and shaking your angry fist at the heavens. I’m sure it will get you somewhere.
