My comments on this topic after the first one were a mistake. Apologies for feeding the troll.
I affirm your judgement. Aurini appeared to be a user in good standing, at 700 votes but seems to have transitioned to troll.
If, for some reason Aurini is not ostracised while he behaves like this it would be necessary to refute his willfully obnoxious sexist drivel point by point. I know people hate to read debates about sex politics but either the nonsense must be countered through argument or (preferably) it needs to be made clear through downvotes/ignore/dontfeeds that nothing Aurini is saying here should be considered remotely like a position that lesswrong supports.
Is this why you were making personal attacks on me, rather than addressing anything I actually said?
Engaging in academic mobbing, and then calling me a troll, is hardly a testament to your ability of free thought.
Didn't you just attack a few billion people as stupid, histrionic, and not worthy of respect? You suddenly disagree with attacks?
And didn't you also just call a "mangina" every guy who disagrees with you?
I don't know how someone can address something like "it makes their brain-tubes hurt". What are brain-tubes?
Your post is designed and worded as to offend, not to list points that can be addressed and to be shown factually right or wrong.
Do not feed the troll.
Replying to you rather than the ancestor out of respect for your point.
It should be understood that positioning Aurini as a troll isn't personal. It's crude politics. Usually when sexism talk comes up it consists of incoherent accusations that the lesswrong is populated by people who have opinions along the lines of those Aurini is presenting. Those allegations are almost impossible to counter with mere reason yet also shouldn't be left to stand. That leaves me in an unpleasant position. I want to avoid being in said unpleasant position.
The last thing lesswrong needs is for accusations that it is populated by obnoxious sexist bigots to actually have an element of truth.
To say nothing of challenging one's audience to equate themselves with a "white knight" or a "mangina" if only they show disagreement with a point, and describing emotionally what a despicable, pathetic strawman they're going to be in such a case.
The *chan equivalent of "If you like X, then you're a faggot" is actually more fair and high-handed than the shit Aurini's slinging here; at least, unlike "mangina", "faggot" is a widely used insult with no small clique monopolizing its denotation and connotations, and there have been attempts to weaken it by knocking the negativity out of both homosexuality and acting "unmanly".
That term should definitely be considered offensive when used as an insult. (Most humanslike vaginas, in one way or another. It should not form a term of contempt!)
I think he is referring to the other post where wedrifid implied Aurini has sex with and beats his dog.
