Amazing, but unfortunately not that big of a surprise. It supports my
point that no group should feel holier than thou, or immune from all the
badness. (Take, for example, priests, oh, wait, let's not...)
I have to admit I do not understand the psychology at work here -- what
pleasure could any male get out of such behavior? I will say with
virtual certainty that nothing that you did "prompted" him. I guess we
humans are all different, and not always in good ways.
Thanks for speaking up.

I will give an anecdote about this very listserv: I was very severely
sexually harassed as a college student posting about a film screening
in 2008. It was for a well-known experimental filmmaker. The
response to my post involved "oh, you don't know what you're talking
about and I bet you can shut up and stick a dick in your mouth." This
persisted for several posts (becoming increasingly graphic), some just
to me, some to the whole list - I'm not sure what prompted such a
reaction from this stranger. Scott was kind enough to delete these
posts from the archives out of respect and block this person from
Frameworks, but as a young person first entering the experimental film
community (it was my first post on Frameworks), I was shaken. Some
people policed it and stood up for me then, but Scott made it go away
very quickly. So yes, this happens in our community, and yes, this
happens on this listserv. I wish it weren't the case.
