Saw Black Hawk down. It's an epic. Make sure you see it in a theatre and bring someone who wants to learn about loyalty and bravery.

I understand. But the reminder of that strange extended episode wasn't gratuitous: CH made an assertion that there was "a lot" of anti-male bashing on LWP by Poet, whom he described as "active" in it, and by "others" whose aliases he presumed were known to Poet, and that he said were known to him.

Close scrutiny of accusations by CH against Poet and other women is perhaps a good idea, was the timely point.

I would believe that male-bashing took place by a couple of women. But that doesn't implicate a group.

He may volunteer the aliases when he comes on.

I'm actually confused about the disagreement here. I don't understand the relevance of the accusation or fact taht a bunch of left SI women were suspended to the question of male-bashing, do you? Were they suspended for male-bashing? The issue at the heart of this is obscure to me. What IS the issue, actually, besides purported male bashing? (I'm assuming that "flaming" an individual male over an issue other than his maleness isn't called "male bashing.")
