Yeah, that was odd

I started half a dozen posts tonight before I finally gave up and called for some outside help. Thankfully I do have at least one friend in the world, and he suggested that I respond to the truly incredible outpouring of comments that we witnessed this morning here on TRS. So I'll try.
What can I say? This is what happens when a bunch of guys get together and decide to have a little fun. First, my apologies if anyone was offended. As I mentioned, we're guys, and we tend to write bombastic statements without thinking of the consequences. Is this an excuse? Of course not. What is a good excuse is that I think I can safely say that I, TRS, didn't indulge in any truly horrific statements; that honor was left to others. Still, it is my blog, and I suppose that I'm in some way responsible for it. Still, this is America, we have a first amendment, and I don't think that anyone was too hurt by anything that was written tonight.
Be all this as it may, it's funny as I look back at the last hour or so and remember the thrill that was rushing through my veins; what would the next comment look like? Who would say something incredibly crazy next? In short, it was a fun time while it lasted.
Now that it's all over, it's left to me to pick up the shreds and try to weave some sense out of the whole episode. I don't really mind this, because it requires a philosophical bent of mind, with which most of us are equipped at 2:00 AM. So here's how it's going to work: I'll go through each of the major commenters from the binge, and see if I can summarize their position in a reasonable manner.
It all started with me, TRS, at 11:27 PM. Throughout the discussion I was alternatively "lol"ing, and spent the rest of the time trying to respond to the comments. I was trying to stay above the fray and moderate things a bit, though I was spectacularly unsuccessful at the latter, as is apparent from even a cursory glance at the comments.
At 12:17 I responded to Nemo, and inadvertently started the whole thing, which I've only just realized now, actually. I wasn't even trying to insult anyone; all I was doing was making the observation that sabra's comments were often a bit difficult to understand. This innocent observation opened a deluge, which only ended at 1:40 AM.
The opinions expressed by Messieurs TRC (the real chauvinist) and his worthy opponent, "feminist", were grossly exaggerated. Entertaining, but grossly exaggerated.
Nemo tried to inject a bit of reason into the whole affair, but his efforts were apparently swept aside by the tidal wave that was TRC and Feminist. By the way, I assume that everyone here knows the origins of the word "Chauvinist". If not, click here. And here. Good person. I was going to write "Good boy" over there, but that might have opened me up to charges of chauvinism. In order to allay any fears in that direction, I'd like to quote Linus, of Peanuts fame, "I love humanity. It's people that I hate."
Sabra was dealt with rather harshly, I admit, though this may be due to her taking liberty's with certain sacred rites that had long been established here at TRS. These include granting The Almighty Editor grave respect, second only to TRS himself, which she patently failed to do. In short, some would say (of course I would never dream of saying something like this) she got what was coming to her.
And that seems like a pretty good way to sew this particular bad boy up.
