I'd like to further add that the last contribution PAD made to the s_d thread before the comm was nuked was to get into a massive argument with a female poster, who was politely but firmly calling him both on his statements to another poster about how her problem was seeing everything in terms of feminism, and about the problematic portrayal of teenagers in YJ.

Considering he later mischaracterized that exchange entirely, I wonder how much being talked back to by a woman who was able to defend herself against his derailing and accusations of personal attacks, and continuing to press the question despite his tactics, had to do with what happened in the end.
