Dear Linda,

I doubt that you can claim to be tolerant after that diatribe.  You have clearly indicated that 
you are sexist ("old-boys-club") and that you discriminate on the basis of age ("get lost, old 
man").  I think that your original post prompted the assumption that you were into this sort of 
labeling was your use of the phrase "mean-spirited" in your description of his criticism of the 
original poster's grammar and spelling.  It is my observation that this phrase is only used by 
liberal demagogues.

It is also important to note that the original post was widely crossposted to the following 
groups:

sci.stat.edu,
alt.education.research,
misc.education.science,
sci.edu,
sci.misc,
sci.engr,
sci.engr.mech,
bionet.women-in-bio,
misc.education,

and the responses are still being crossposted to these groups.  Steve Maas is probably not in 
"your" group bionet.women-in-bio.  I myself picked up the thread in sci.engr.mech.
