It bothers me how many of these comments pick nits ("plowing isn't especially feminine", "you can't unilaterally declare Crocker's Rules") instead of actually engaging with what has been said.

(And those are just women's issues; women are not the only group that sometimes has problems in geek culture, or specifically on Less Wrong.)

Have you read the comment sections on this site before? I don't think LWers where any more nitpicky than usual.

So, I just wanna be sure I understand the substance of your reply:

JoachimSchipper is expressing frustration with nitpicking, and your (nitpicky) reply is that it's not unusually nitpicky?

Yep. And you responded by nitpicking one meta level up. I love this site.

Just one? EDIT: Okay, okay. ;p
