"It's that nutters are disproportionately attracted to certain types of posts.
And yes it is a measured response, there are almost always a lot of annoying nonsensical shouters whenever the topic comes up"
This is what I disagree with. I don't think posts on sexism attract significantly more "nonsensical shouters" than posts on, say immigration, or abortion or any other topic. I don't have direct data on this, but neither does the article, which is why I'm questioning its propositions.
Immigration and abortion also attract a lot of nutters. You realize you picked some of the most emotionally charged and stagnated arguments in the world, right?
