yendiSo a person of color posts a reply (responding to a thread Jim Hines's excellent piece here) a long, well-written post about the issues he's faced in fandom as a POC to a mailing list, including some really offensive stuff that has happened to him.
First line of the first response is "I find top posting offensive."
And it goes on from there (the same asshole who made that post and then dismissed a whole bunch of the initial poster's concerns also claims, of course, that Rene Walling was Just Misunderstood.)
Of course, I can't give more info about the person who posted or where they did so, since it's a list that's notorious for getting itself worked up whenever anyone dares quote it, but I can say that this is the sort of shit that makes many rational people think that the best thing that could happen to self-identified SMOFs would be for them to stick their faces in blenders and frappe away.
(And yes, there have been intelligent responses by people who aren't assholes, too. But it's a crappy ratio.)
