What has "sexism on the net" got to do with rosiex's complaint? Her
complaint was an attempt to whip up a PC lynch mob against Dwayne
because of something he said which had no bearing whatsoever on her
gender and a great deal to do with her journalistic exploitation of a
particular minority (ravers). Just because rosiex found crying "sexism"
easier than answering Dwayne's criticisms doesn't make it so.
