4. It's important that "benevolent sexism" like door opening be taken for the hateful scourge it is

and meanwhile, while you're busy not taking the problem of door-opening seriously enough, we'll just be over here cheering on the blogger who advocates starving male babies.

5. The people in that thread are so ludicrously over the top, it's hard to know how to react.

Even Fred Phelps didn't advocate actually killing the targets of his hate.

Sheesh. Someone mentions Warren Fartbutt or whatever his name is, and certain DU members get followed around for months with "YOU DO KNOW WHAT HE WROTE IN PENTHOUSE IN 1977, DONTCHOO?"

But apparently it's totally fine to gush over a blogger who advocated child abuse last week, as long as the children (babies, really) in question are male.

I`m assuming we`re not supposed to use the dreaded "R-F" word?

8. I asked him to remove the term from his other post, actually.

not using certain terms in reference to people on DU is fairly clearly spelled out in the truce thread, which AFAIAC we're still trying to follow, meta being gone notwithstanding.

I don't have the jury results for the hide, though.
