Here’s the offending document, from Skepchick.
Here’s my response.
Dear Robert,
I was interested to read your email to skepchick. I have a number of questions. I am sure that your email box is full, so I’ll give you a couple of weeks to shovel your way out from under the uptick in mail volume to respond. There is always the possibility you were pranked, so I am keeping my questions civil. Here they are.
Are you implying that your reaction to a woman’s appearance is more important than what she has to say on the subject of atheism?
Are you implying that because you do not like a woman’s appearance you have an obligation to ask her to stop commenting on atheism?
Are you implying that your personal preferences regarding a woman’s appearance should factor into whether she continues to make comments about atheism on youtube?
I ask to confirm that you were indeed serious. If so, kindly direct me to your youtube account so I may critique your videos regarding atheism in the light of your personal appearance. If you have none such, allow me to express disappointment, as the world of atheism would undoubtedly be better off with your contribution to it more readily accessible. If you weren’t serious, please advise how I was supposed to know you were joking from the context of the email.
In the spiriit of tolerance and inquiry,
Allegra Sloman
