on women and videogames and assholes

I'll try to organize this recitation of a conversation as best as possible:

In an article on slashdot (link) about women and videogames I
jokingly commented:

>In related news, my 12-year-old offer to marry
>the first woman to regularly defeat me at
>StreetFighter regardless of age, race, or looks,
>goes entirely unanswered.
>
>I think I was born 5 years or so too late;
>I've seen a few teenage girls who contend
>in Soul Calibur...
>
>I gotta move to California where they have more asians...
>

the people who ended up replying to it were saying
some really obnoxious things, so I added another:

>Let me apologize to any woman reading for all
>the comments in this thread that indicate women
>gamers are unwelcome if less than attractive.
>..As if every single social interation between
>the sexes need be sexual. We need you as gamers
>if only to dilute this kind of idiocy among us.

to which an anonymous troll replied:

>Shut up, pussy.
>
>I bet you're the "sensitive male friend" that always takes girls to
>dinner and listens to them talk about their boyfriends but never
>gets any action from them.
>
>Grow a pair, you fucking twat.
>

I usually restrain from replying to anonymous jerks, but
I made an exception this time:

>you hit the nail on the head. i am.
>
>and you're the resentful fugly goth
>(you're no beefcake, this is slashdot)
>who gets neither sexual NOR social attention.
>
>nice to meet you.
>

which garnered the reaction:

>You don't have a clue what I am or what I get. And I could
>hardly be resentful. I avoid the people I described above and
>my world is richer for it. And who cares if you're goth? So you
>wear tight black clothes and that matters how in this discussion?

which made me laugh my ass off:

>aaAHahahaHaHAhaahhaahaha
>
>looks like -I- hit the nail on the head too,
>anonymous coward ^_^;;;;
>

and very satisfyingly, other readers modded my posts up
as insightful or funny, and modded his down as
trolling and inflamatory ^^
