<p>I totally agree, and I hope you didn’t think I was suggesting the poster keep quiet about his opinions, publicly or privately. What I criticized was myriad’s seemingly unquestioning approval of his statement (Myriad said “I’d also like to thank the “conservative” students who posted. It is relatively easy to write heartfelt posts when you know that you are in the majority; but it takes a lot more courage to post when you are in the minority.”)
Myriad also likened my criticism to character assassination in political campaigns. No! Not fair! The OP made the blatantly sexist statement and confirmed it when I questioned him. Nobody is running for office here, and nobody’s reputation will be harmed. It was the bigoted statement that I questioned, and I was (am) looking for a popular uprising against such ideas.</p>
