You didn&#x27;t address my question.  Which specific part of my comment was &quot;off-topic&quot; given the topic of `the experience of women in tech`?<p>If you don&#x27;t want to allow discussion of a topic, maybe the better option is to disallow discussion of the topic.  Otherwise it looks a lot like you are pushing a personal agenda in your position as moderator.  That&#x27;s tyranny.  Are you a tyrant?<p>As you can see, my account is relatively new.  I&#x27;m not familiar with the flame war you&#x27;re speaking of.  Can you tell me more about it so I don&#x27;t post any more comments that could be construed to perpetuate it?<p>Which part did you think was inflammatory, the part where I said I&#x27;m acquainted with dozens of industry women I respect, or the part where I lament that the dialogue has been manipulated by a few bad apples?
