What you don't recognize, or care to admit is that by referencing these histories and harkening back to Usenet, you are recapitulating the patriarchal structures that founded the net instead of deconstructing them, thus re-enacting their gender priviledged violence on the Noisebridge mailing list.

Did you even read what I wrote, or click the link, or read the From
address on the previous mail?

The poster (who raises good points, many of which I agree with) is using
a pseudonym making a reference to an early episode in Noisebridge's
history. My response provides an opportunity for someone who is curious
about the events, but wasn't there to experience it firsthand, to learn
more about the history being referenced.

I didn't out them, nor even try to do so.

Also, I was making a reference to an old Usenet gag which has been
reprised many times since in various fora, and probably was a rerun of
an inside joke from the era of classified ads or something.
