I would not have objected to your use of a male-specific phrase if you had not written in the second person. I'd be willing to take your word for it that your choice was random and I wouldn't care - if it were about some hypothetical person who was male. It was about a "you" addressed in the post, and I, as a reader, was therefore excluded.
I can understand that a little better.
I'd like to delete this conversation from Less Wrong. I'd rather have done this by email. Nobody else seems to be reading it anyway. You can reach me at <my username here>@yahoo.
In my experience, disagreements get more heated when done in public posts than in private emails.
I don't like to delete things that have gone on for this long. In the future, you could PM people who make comments you'd like to reply to but think may develop into "heated disagreements". But if no one else is reading it, then some of the votes on the comments are unaccounted for.
