Highly intelligent people with a lifetime of varied experiences and who have shown wisdom in so many spheres, who then make Mudcat posts that express intolerance and lack of empathy for a minority who struggle to find a happy place in our world through no fault of their own, seriously disappoint me, and I'm not going to expend too much energy trying to make excuses for them. Senoufou made that awful post, was taken to task, took umbrage and left of her own accord. No swearing, no insulting, no hounding out, no name-calling. I've made many an awful post here, been taken to task, taken umbrage on occasion and have privately and/or publicly (usually privately - call it male hubris) acknowledged my stupidity. It's called taking it on the chin. And I'm still here.

And antediluvian didn't deserve your speech marks.
