my post here was emotional I suppose.
The thread "is this sexism?" has changed topic several times now and did not
seem to be a bother, at least not for me. Then a personal argument sprung
up where someone became irritated that the topic had changed yet again
(possibly, the irritation was simply for the lack of a new topic title).
This, in turn, irritated me and I decided to become ...snobish?
