*her defense


Thanks - I had a vague feeling that I had typed something lately that had assumed masculinity:) Edited.


Why apologize? You thought it was a he.

Because it's not something that I'm in the habit of doing, and not something I think is acceptable.

If you think my statement was reflexive rather than an expression of my honest belief, it's because you're projecting.

"Auto-da-fé" sounds just bit weird, a minor nitpick. It's probably right both ways.
