"Anyone who uses that quote to support a claim that I'm a misogynist is going to end up looking like an idiot or a liar. Or both."Plenty of them around – especially linked to this whole saga. And all they are looking for is a quote to allow them to ignore the actual issue(s). And, to hesitate with a mild correction: that would be "looking, to us, like an …". Themselves, they seem to view it as victims of some obsessive socialist (thee, not me) plot.

Surreptitious Evil: I would hope that any attempt to do this would be absurdly transparent and actually quite useful in the end. FFS, I even took the precaution of flagging intended sarcasm. Anyone who uses that quote to support a claim that I'm a misogynist is going to end up looking like an idiot or a liar. Or both.

Well, this:"Tomorrow I'll be targeting a particularly vulnerable right-wing woman for no good reason and will attempt to scare the living shit out of her."wouldn't exactly be giving the "Tim is a misogynist shit who can be safely filed with the other sweary blog nutters" any ammunition, would it?

My submitted comment, to the best of my recollection, read:"That's a serious claim, Rachel. And quite misguided. Do you have anything to back it up?"But now they'll never see the light of day, these unseen comments can be anything Rachel wants them to be.

I also left a comment, which didn't make it through.My comment asked her to take another look at your posts, and try to reevaluate what you were saying as she'd grabbed the wrong end of the stick. I said she'd done both herself and you a disservice.Ah well. You misogynist you. Next time, spell it out in small easy-to-understand words.

I was, quite honestly, hoping for better.

Guess what? Now Rachel Joyce has said she won't allow any more comments on that post or subject.I left a perfectly polite comment asking what her opinion was on politicians who make statements which are later refuted, but refuse to acknowledge the refutation, make a correction, or allow comments which reference it.It hasn't been allowed.
