Sorry, "here" is ambiguous. I meant in the discussion presently occurring, perhaps I should have just said pjeby is only saying that but I felt like my statement applied to everyone who replied to your comments recently.

I never saw anything of that form -- most importantly, I don't remember acknowledgement that it is true (just as society in general won't admit it). Those who found it objectionable, like this characteristic poster, demanded much more serious straitjackets:

My position is here. But yes, past discussions involved broader disagreement. I mostly meant that I didn't think your interpretation of pjeby's comment was accurate.

(ETA: I'm sympathetic to a lot of what she says but I'm not sure I'd agree alicorn was "characteristic" in that particular discussion.)
