I thought the attack was against homophobia, not sexism. I assumed 'susan' was a male. I did so because it is rare, in my experience, for an academic to write on a first name basis and without the 'coordinates' of position and institution. Lachlan Brown

...

When someone accuses another person of homophobia, let alone the rest, the someone has to let the person reply. I am not homophobic, on the contrary I suffered for a solidarity with a number of gay people in seeing John Greyson's book Queer Looks through to print. I have never been called homophobic and its a little hurtful.

Though I recognise that in my method in teasing out reaction I brought it upon myself. Lachlan

Lachlan, i'm not a huge fan of filtering mail and pretending not to hear someone, so let me say directly: i can't see much value in exchanging with you. so, i'd ask you not to bother "raising questions [with me] to excite response"...i'm plum not interested in the conversation.
