Actually, he was poisoning the well, trying to prejudice readers in advance about my purported guilt. If I had been asked about it, then had changed the subject, attacked, and run, it would appear that I knew the statement was sexist and was attempting to avoid the issue. Trouble is, I was never asked about it, by satvadude or anybody else. He made that whole sequence up out of whole cloth. Which is why he's trying to evade Raunchy's question as to which post he's referring to. There is no such post because there was no such question. She can't read it because it doesn't exist. As to the question he's asking, only a really stupid person would ask it seriously, and satvadude isn't stupid. Yes, my statement was sexist, just as much as it was racist. But he didn't ask about racism, did he? Somebody should ask him whether he thinks Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court is sexist (or racist). But satvadude is obviously not interested in any legitimate discussion of any of the issues involved; his only motivation is to do whatever he can to make me look bad, even if he has to lie to accomplish it. (He's also trying to create a rift between me and Raunchy. Good luck with that.) It doesn't occur to him that this approach makes *him* look far worse, but there you are. As I've been saying, some men have tremendous difficulty thinking rationally when they're experiencing strong emotions, because to experience emotions is in and of itself inherently terrifying to them; it's a threat to their very manhood.
