Sexism - was: history

[Allen Coniglio]

I didn't realize it was a private post but, it doesn't really matter. I also
have posts that are more than 5 years old that I have saved for one reason
or another. I am more concerned with the efforts of some list members - most
of them female - to cast aspersions and to villify one member who happens to
be a male and whom they apparently have issues with due to his insistence on
adhering to the rules of the list (a male thing). It is obvious that the
people who are attempting to denigrate this list member are unable to
understand the importance of maintaining this forum as a place to discuss
and preserve the ways of classical homeopathy. I have noticed that certain
members of this list, perhaps mirroring our sadly confused modern societies,
are uncomfortable with male energy and its concomitant logical presentation
of the facts. To allow this type of nonthinking, emotive, intellectually
paralyzing energy to creep into and dominate this list would certainly
result in the end of this forum as it was conceived and established. Note
that virtually none of the critics choose to debate the wisdom or logic of
adhering to the rules as they are written but, instead, most engage in ad
hominem attacks on the one who would dare to state the obvious. Finally, my
perhaps clumsy advice to Christa to "grow up" was aimed not so much at her
as it was to those who had preceded her. She was it seems, repeating what
she had come to accept as good, insightful thinking but, IMO, it was just
more "follow the leader". Unfortunately, after years of observation, that is
what I have come to expect from certain members of this list.

Oh nice, Allen!
But never mind, I'm done. Maybe will write you privately to clarify my
thoughts, but no more from me about it on the list.

There are two ways of looking at that Allen.
1 - the truth hurts;
2 - people are very much like rats and when cornered, go on the attack.
