It's kind of sad she has to start to by making statements that could be calculated to tarnish one group of skeptics; it's as if to say, I can sling insults as good as the next guy, so don't sling them at me, sling them at those other guys. Weird...

In the parallel-issues department, here's an interesting narrative in /Slate/ by Rebecca Watson about the experiences of herself and other women with sexism offline and on in the skeptic/atheist community. http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2012/10/sexism_in_the_skeptic... Among other things, her WP article has been vandalized (I won't link to diffs ... anyone interested can look through the history). I daresay that it makes Reddit, even in the wake of the Violentacrez reporting, look not so bad. It has also drawn a lot more comments than the typical /Slate/ article. Daniel Case
