@bkuhn in your old post you write "the place where my disagreement with Guzdial begins is that [he claims] this sexism problem is unique to FLOSS" (inserted [he claims] as I think that's what you mean). Looks like an exaggeration to me. Guzdial's article says "At a time when we are trying to broaden participation in computing, open source development is even more closed and less diverse than commercial software development." Worse != unique to. I think it is very dangerous to attack the motives of critics rather than embrace the criticism. This is a long game, and short-term politics like you're engaging in right here are self-defeating.
