 :Hi Risker.  Sorry for the delay in responding; I've been away for my TFM account for awhilefor the most part I've been employing infantile (thoughI would argueharmless) vandal-accounts to edit, though I rarely edit at all.  I am sad to inform you that you were not the ""party to whom the offending remark and image was directed.""   That ""party"" would be Messedrocker or  now... the edit was intended as a visual pun meant to ridicule another editor's histrionics over what I saw as an unremarkable edit war.  If I had been jonesing to ridicule you (and I do admit to having peppered numerous arbitrators with cheap personal barbs in the past), I probably would have started with your appreciation of James Blunt. 
 :In any case, I regret that you identified in any way with the garish subject of Goya's rape scene; I assure you my intent was not to suggest that CHL was literally fucking Risker.  Perhaps you're thinking a bit too concretely, but you are not alone.  You inhabit an expansive and growing universe of women who do not find my jokes funny.  I would suggest commiserating with my sister (who regularly deletes the comments I leave on her Facebook wall) or with some of my ex-girlfriends.   
 :As for the question of whether my antics are driving quality female editors away from the back pages of Wikipedia, I doubt this is truebut if it were, I would welcome their departure. Like many, I have gradually arrived at the opinion that intelligent womenand intelligent men, for that mattershould not be wasting their time on the surreal and tiresome political imbroglios of this silly website.  If my boorishness ""hastens the day"" (as we say on the Wikipedia Review) of their disenchantment with WP and inspires them to take up worthier pastimes, I should be congratulated, not scolded. 

 :Moni3, I adore you, as always; I would hug you if I could, but you need not defend me any further.  I am a naughty, naughty man, and I am up to nothing good. 

 :Tznkai, you mean well and perform your administrator duties (such as they are) admirably, but I find you to be something of a douche.  While it is true that meanness does notin and of itselfequal humor, cruelty and schadenfreude are inseparable components of that which makes us, as humans, laugh.  If witnessing people being ridiculed and abused were not funny, there would be no Three Stooges, no America's Funniest Home Videos, no South Park, no Howard Stern, no 4chan.  This might be your utopian ideal, but please don't enforce it on me. 

 :This concludes your evening with Fat Man Who Never Came Back. I'm off to the Reference Desk ecause I have a question about sundried tomatoes.  "
