How in the world can you compare Apartheid in South Africa to the debate
here about Mark's pronouns?  Do you really consider Apartheid to be such
a trivial matter?  Or do you dare state that Mark's pronoun problems are

On the behalf of the people suffering in South Africa, I demand a retraction
of this statement.
