That is not true and is offensive. I made no attempt to extrapolate to all
men. And the poster himself in a private email, and also on the list, said
that the motive I had in fact attributed to him - that he felt in some way
threatened - was correct, tho' I had got very wrong the way in which he felt
threatened.
Are you in fact feeling threatened? And is that why you alone have to attack
so hard?
