You and me. We're in this together.

John Gilmore: I was ejected from a plane for wearing "Suspected Terrorist" button.

I'm glad that someone has the moral pigheadedness to stand up for themselves. Because I suspect that I wouldn't.

Should I point out to you that it doesn't matter?

That yonmei's sex has no bearing on her argument?

That one word of type doesn't deserve this much attention, when it was a mistake?

That innocent until proven guilty is still a pretty good rule of thumb?

That the 'sexist' comment was obviously sarcasm?

That you could just have given me a chance?

That your labelling of me probably annoyed me far more than my temporary mistaken idea of yonmei's sex annoyed her? (I assume she found it more amusing than anything else. Well, I would have.)

That your labelling of me is exactly the sort of thing that would have pissed you off, if I'd have labelled you?

Especially if it had been based on a single, random comment.

Bizarrely enough, I haven't been bitten by a radioactive spider, and I rarely wear red (it clashed with my skin). I *get* the whole user icons don't have to be anything like the user. It was an association - a mistaken one.

You know what? Forget it. Choose to label based on one mistake. Have your perception of me. Knock yourself out.
