The people who should be banned are the folks who repeatedly bait women and show up to spit on women's issues. Especially those slimy enough to hide their psychological warfare behind decorous words. Trolls, and nasty little boys.
It sucks, what NYC-SKP said...but when I think of the context, his behaviour, commentary, discussion was never sexist before. He's a guy who has clearly been a feminist ally.
As a veteran of many major surgeries and trauma, I know that you can get triggered. Become a different person.
I don't take slurs against women lightly, as you probably know. Back on DU2, I was FizzFuzz...in those days, "lady-baiting" was rampant, and the woman responding with appropriate righteous anger was always the one who got tombstoned. Happened to me and a LOT of other feminists.
So, ordinarily, I'd be the last person questioning such a ban....but the full story casts a different light.
I wish the obvious misogynists who are pathological enough to purposefully hide their aggression behind trollish word games would get the permanent kibosh.
