You know what - you’re right. colander said you were making an argument because the protestor turns you on, and you criticized her midreading abilities for that reason. You didn’t need to respond to that, but the fault was with colander’s post and you didn’t make the discussion any more personal than she did. I’ll reverse the warning.
No, here we don’t go again. This isn’t going to be another everything under the Sun about sexism thread, it’s about this one warning (which I’ve now reversed). To that end you may spare us the “let’s everybody calm down” mantra. You may have noticed that didn’t work.
