Perhaps you didn't read what I was trying to accomplish. Perhaps you leaped to conclusions, because you got triggered. Perhaps you should take a moment and realize that I'm not approaching people who already use emacs and org-mode. Perhaps you might have realized that I looked at the videos online and didn't think that they would make Emacs or org-mode appealing to my target audience. Perhaps, you might consider, whether you like it or not, that the messenger matters, instead of lecturing people that it shouldn't. Perhaps you should consider that marketers know something you don't about making products appealing to segments of the market. Perhaps you could have honored my request to keep discussion on topic instead of hijacking it go on your tirade. Perhaps you've been shadow banned twice (your words) for a reason.

And frankly if it seems I'm pissed, its because I am. I was asking for information, and seemed well along to getting it, when a whole bunch of people like you flagged and hijacked it because you got triggered. Talk about cancelling and need for safe-spaces. Sheesh.

  The mere fact that several people did not respond to your question in an affirming way does not mean those people "hijacked" the thread, nor does it imply these people were "triggered". They responded, like I did, to a question which portrays segregation based on innate characteristics (sex, in this case) as a positive thing by pointing out this is actually counterproductive. Had your question been phrased differently - e.g. does anyone know of any tutorials on this subject which do not preach to the choir or ...which do not seem to be targeting the in-crowd the responses would have been different, you would probably have gotten suggestions for tutorials produced by men and women alike without any of these having been selected specifically based on the presenter's sex.
