and everything to do with not wanting to possibly incorrectly refer to a she as a he...nothing more, nothing less.
And yes I should have appended my post to clarify that if indeed the poster is female, it doesn’t make a shit bit of difference.
You did the fatal error of mentioning me in your post, sirazimuth.
I am going to chime in that I agree with nullius and the various other antiplurality references to singulars.
If she cannot handle getting referred to as he, then fuck her.
Same thing is true, if he cannot handle getting referred to as she, then he is acting like a whiny bitch....
especially on the interwebs, we can be he or she. I do find the term "it" to be a bit dehumanizing, and NOT to many of us are it... at least I hope not.
Please, no more pompous long winded lectures, that's jays job.
nullius can definitely out "long wind" me and surely in many more seemingly erudited ways, but I have noticed that he tends to be much more sporadic than me, so he does not seem to have any kind of marathon-like endurance, to the extent that marathon-like endurance might be a positive, rather than a negative.
I am thinking that he must have to go away for 3-6 months just to draft up his multiple possible responses, and then when he comes back, he tweaks and slams those various pre-drafted ideas upon various parts of the forum's populace. That's my tentative theory, and I am sticking with such tentative theory until there is meaningful evidence to the contrary.
