If all we've got is a statement by an avoid feminist that what Mark
Shuttleworth is supposed to have said is insulting to females, we
haven't got a case to invoke our ire or him to answer.

I agree with Chris Rees (and I avow solidarity with him as another
disabled member of this list) but we can't go running around accusing
people until we can be sure that they actually SAID things which were
morally and legally reprehensible.  We need to see what Mark
Shuttleworth is accused of saying, and be sure he said it.

Until then, the issue (for me) is closed.
