Paws off my <i>lady friend.</i> Anyone wanting to be tromped on all night long and have poo-on-a-tray in the corner of your bedroom, I'll send you a DNA swab of the Raspulou poodle. It's like having a precious Hummel figure suffering from grandiosity that smells and moves and has to be toted around everywhere. Hey! Paws off my lady friend.

I've been reading IBTP for a couple of years now, and as others have said, much more eloquently, every time I see one of his comments, my eyes glaze over and I have to move on. There are plenty of other intelligent people here who can tease apart and deconstruct arguments without derailing the conversation. We don't need Mandos, not even for the occasional entertainment value. (Hi, longtime lurker, checking in. I stumbled here a while ago, when I was first dabbling my naive toes into feminism and feminist blogs, and Twisty is the reason I'm not just a feminist, but a baby radfem at that. So thank you, Twisty, and keep blaming.) Ban him.

By an overwhelming majority, you've been asked to leave. Will you persist until Twisty actually *has* to ban you, or will you just quietly stop posting. This is also similar to the "she didn't say 'no' loud enough for me to take her seriously" defense. You don't have to stick around 'till Twisty bans you.

Less forgivably, I'd guess that you do actually understand that, but since you can make a logical argument as to why entertainment is an important element, you persist anyway. This sort of "rules-lawyering" regardless of what the *people* you're interacting with actually *feel* about it is the same kind of abuse that allows men to justify raping women. To totally geek out and quote one Dr. Spock: "Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end."

It just bugs the crap out of me when men enter feminist conversations and assert themselves as the 'voice of reason'. Gah. Longtime lurker voting to ban.
