The issue should be placed in context.  Gazit is a religious
anti-feminist who specializes in sophistry and personal insult, and a
frequent contributor to the cesspool known as alt.flame.  In my
opinion, none of the messages he has ever submitted to soc.feminism
deserved to be passed on to the group, and the moderators have done the
net a disservice by permitting such inane crap to appear in their
group.  That they finally reached their limit should come as a surprise
to no one.

"The Diabolonian position is new to the London playgoer of today, but not to
 lovers of serious literature.  From Prometheus to the Wagnerian Siegfried,
 some enemy of the gods, unterrified champion of those oppressed by them, has
 always towered among the heroes of the loftiest poetry."
