Michael, I have to say that I find your comment offensive. NOBODY expects to be denigrated on Wikipedia, and being "privileged" is no excuse for doing so. This is EXACTLY the kind of behaviour this list was created to try to modify.

Interesting commentary as far as it went. I wish he'd delved a little

Just thinking out loud here...

I'm actually on this list :) and was just thinking out loud as well to see if I could understand the incident since I was seeing pretty strong claims (both "Wikipedia is sexist" and "this is journalism run amok.") For instance, people continue to report that Filipacchi is a reporter for NYT when these were op-eds.

And nobody, of course, addresses the class issue: that Filipacchi is a privileged scion of one of the largest global publishing companies, and is not accustomed to having her own self-interest questioned in a classic WP:BOOMERANG fashion by vulgar Wikipedians nobody who MATTERS ever heard of.
