I certainly can't fault someone for taking offense to Freebase's post, but her response bothers me. Rather than confine her criticism to Freebase, she basically trashed the whole forum, painting it as hostile to women. Maybe if she named names, making it specific who she had issues with, it would be better, but without that she's (hopefully) unintentionally accusing all of us.
