I didn't mean to dismiss the issue of the gender conversation

Oh, no, that's not how I read you at all! I agree that it's miring down serious conversation. And I'm not the only one -- someone in the FFR comments basically said "I'm an OTW detractor, but I'm not doing that publicly anymore because I'm tired of distancing myself from idiots like you."

one of the most boggling -- not rage-making, but boggling -- parts is how he keeps saying OTW has nothing to show for itself

Yes, totally agreed. What is he expecting? Instant archive, just add water? Also, it seems a little contradictory. "Your project sucks and I want nothing to do with it! Also, why isn't it finished yet?" Sort of the same logic as "this food is terrible and the portions are too small".
