I immediately searched for "double standard" and who but GuerrillaWarfare mentioned it. The arbitrator who suddenly decided "YES, CarolMooredc" should get kicked off Wikipedia. That after the other arbitrators already had voted to kicked me off off and I THEN complained that a gang of foulmouthed Manchester England editors who threw around "c*nt" and "Tw*t" were "gangbangers".
So I'm laughing at the irony.
At the time they argued about whether I meant rapists or thuggish gangmembers. I don't think there was much of a difference in my mind; there isn't right now anyway.
Otherwise, I doubt the title or the cursing helped and it might have been counterproductive. The uncivil will say - "see women can be uncivil too, it's cool". They will not admitting even slightly uncivil women (unless they have strong male protectors) will be more strongly sanctioned than much more uncivil males. And civil individuals, male and female, will just be discouraged at best and disgusted at worst by this tactic.
Something more double entendre might have been effective, however!! ;-)
