Fact still remains, you don't like a few people on this board. Well, me neither. Again, so feaking what?

Doesn't make you right, wrong. Doesn't make me right, wrong. We disagree. If you want to take people discussing sexism as a personal affront to you, that is your perogative.

Can you point me to posts that are calling you, specifically, a sexist or misogynist?

And take heed in this. Just because you say something isn't sexist or misogynistic doesn't make it not sexism or misogyny.
