>> Do you actually believe suicide can be caused by someone playing dress up? That's not what I wrote at all.^ I even provided a link for you. I didn't state my opinion, as it's not very interesting (I really don't care about how RB dresses). What I tried to do was to try to answer the people that asked why anyone would be offended by this ("This bet was attacked by feminists (rightly? or too sensitive?)"). I'm not offended, personally, so I tried to take a look at it from a birds-eye view to get the discussion going. So far it's quite disappointing. I'm not sure if people are actively trying to misunderstand me or if I'm just not expressing myself very well. (Is there a name for this?) The general consensus seems to be that I'm a humorless, anti-intellectual, silly PC police that should just get over myself^^. Which I actually find quite funny. :D Lastly, I wonder why this make people so emotional. I wanted to avoid labeling anyone as "sexist" or things like that. I don't think RB had these intentions, and he's probably a great guy... ^ This is misrepresenting what I wrote to the point where it just sounds absurd. A kind of straw man fallacy, I think. I am actually surprised to see this kind of argumentation techniques used at HN. ^^ Ad hominem, anyone? Sure, I might be any/all of these things... but it doesn't prove your point.
