I appreciate that, Fred. I am not concerned so much about the lack of response to my concerns, as I am about the lack of response to overt sexist attacks on this mailing list. I am well aware it is not Wikipedia. Most of the people on this list are the same people as on Wikipedia. If you call a black man a nigger in the field, you will at least /think/ he's a nigger in the house. And don't think the attitude doesn't bleed through, because it does.
Can someone send me a link to the archive where these attacks took place?

The attacks were an ill-considered remark from Alphax, and then my wondering why Alphax was being lynched for what was to me clearly a mere grumble rather than a truly hateful remark. But wait! My questioning of their lynching revealed that I too am a vicious misogynist! From there, the script is playing out as usual -- there is of course no defense against a charge of misogyny; /any/ response whatsoever (other than immediate public self-abasement followed by a good long self-flagellation) proves the charge.
