    He contributed quite a bit in a thread called something like 'Are women submissive to men?'

    Otherwise look at his comments from December of last year. Prior to Trump's taking office his reactionary views were flowing pretty freely.

    You're like Trump. The smart thing to do would be to say "Oh, I'm sorry you took my comments that way. I'll be more careful in future."

    That's all I really want.. stop saying sexist crap. But no. You've got to turn it back on me like I'm the villain.

    He also said in a thread about Trump that most women would enjoy the particular "treatment" he bragged about giving them during the campaign. It was pretty vile.

    Mongrel, are you experiencing thinning skin? It's a real hazard for anyone participating in a public forum, even this quite civilized, moderated one.

    I am a bit surprised that you decided to take your dispute with Agustino public. I'm not worried about Agustino's feelings -- he's quite capable of taking care of himself. But you're likely to not achieve a great victory in this.

    Why don't you give us a string of Agustino's alleged sexist comments? If you reported them by PM to the moderators, then you presumably have them in the record of your PMs.

    The bulk of his sexist remarks were made a few months ago. He made a few more a few weeks ago.Mongrel

    Well, dig them up and put them on display.

    As for sexism, racism, etc., of course there are sexists and racists here. "We the People" are sexist and racist. Maybe, perhaps, possibly "we the people" wish to be, and it could be that we will be less sexist and racist in the future, and if we do, congratulations to we all. But not yet.

    You also: go get the quote and put it up for examination. Why should anyone take your word for it? (And please differentiate between what Trump said and what Agustino said about, or in response to, Trump.

    Mongrel, are you experiencing thinning skin?Bitter Crank

    Sigh. I guess nobody cares that I was making about point about the effect of apathy when I brought this up (in another thread).

    One of my first big life lessons was that complaining about sexism is pointless. I was working as an engineer at AT&T surrounded by guys. It was the mid-80s. Big shoulder pads. But thanks for wanting to give me a bit of heads up. Jesus. You know, I have noticed that you feel the need to register your apathy every time sexism or racism comes up. Odd.

    But you're likely to not achieve a great victory in this.Bitter Crank

    You think? I wasn't expecting any. Baden told me to respond to his comments in the Feedback section. So I did.

    Anyway, I seemed to have gotten what I wanted, maybe. Agustino will temper his comments in future.

    I do actually resent your response. But I assume you have your reasons. Either way I'm done witcha.

    Addressing me with "you also" is a great way of getting me not to do something. Start with "please" next time.

    Why are you asking me that? I don't feel like taxing myself. I was just following Baden's advice when I started this thread. He told me I should have notified a moderator when I first had concerns. I wanted to tell him that I had talked to one, but that nothing happened.
