    Thank you. I'll point out that since I have elsewhere in the thread agreed that it is wrong for transmen to compete against women, it's pretty obvious that the 'transphobic nonsense' I refer to is not that part of his statement, but rather the "a biological man is so screwed up in the head that he thinks it's fair to compete against them" portion. In fact I state in that post that his statement is "essentially correct".

    I nowhere called him transphobic for stating that transmen should not compete against CIS women; the claims that I was ignoring what was put right in front of me are wrong.
    You're really straining here - my emphasis was on the notion that "they think it's fair to compete against them" --- which is why I think they must be screwed up in the head. What biological MALE with the physical advantages inherent to them, would think that's fair?

    You would be best off just to admit you were wrong, and let it go at that. I'm not sure you have that in you.

    A well-intended rule that, I suspect, has little actual effect. But I will not argue it further.

I think it was OBP who had to explain it as essentially that regardless of whether I could handle it or if it bothered me or not, the rules are in place for everyone to follow regardless who they were addressing. IOW, it isn't always about me (imagine my surprise ) and I wasn't an exception (another shocker).

    I still almost never will report such actions addressed toward me but I no longer strenuously object.
    Yeah.

    We don't get much snow in Texas -- but that's right up there with "don't squat with your spurs on".

    And he reminds me of the goofy little kid pretending not to see another kid he doesn't like.... "I can't see him.. . how do you know he's a mod... what words have been proven wrong....."
