Yes, I noticed that but it remains the case that the answer in the paper – at least the version printed here in France – is different. Wonder which one they took for the prizewinners?

20 aright cryptic def [two wrongs don't make a right]

Each blog post has its own RSS feed – today’s is http://fifteensquared.net/2010/02/26/guardian-24939-sat-20-febenigmatist-criminal-record/feed/. Subscribe to it and you will be told when a new comment is added.

Re your last point: I don’t think I want my email address hanging around all over the place.
And I regularly look at older blogs anyway.
Glad you see my point (Enigmatist giving Greer as an example for sexist in his clue – a word, which to me is rather negative).

So, why are there no male alternatives?
Maybe because men think they never needed a thing like feminism?
It’s a man’s man’s world – unfortunately, still, I guess.

Anyway, let’s close the discussion now.

This is getting sil(ly). I didn’t find the clue in itself offensive. In fact it could be argued that sexist and feminist are synonyms although sexist is obviously pejorative. Correct me if I’m wrong but there doesn’t seem to be a similar word to feminist for men. I would call it masculist but the dictionary does not contain such a word. There is of course MCP but I won’t go there.

Have a good day.

PS I do think it would be a good idea to treat each blog as a thread and to email all interested parties when a new comment is added. What do you think ?.

I do not miss the point completely.
I know perfectly well what your, sidey’s and other’s complaints were about.
And on this matter I fully agree with you all – no mistake about that.

But – and that’s a different thing – there is reason to raise objections against the clue itself.
When you say “It wasn’t Enigmatist describing Germaine Greer as a sexist”, well, how should one explain the answer to 13ac then, from a cryptic point of view?
See what I mean? But maybe, it’s just me.

I don’t know whether you will read this as there is no alerting procedure but you seem to have missed the point completely. It wasn’t Enigmatist describing Germaine Greer as a sexist, that was the problem. It was righback describing her as odious and then saying quote “I would like to see her in a room with Mike Newell”
(this has been edited now). The last two words were a hyperlink to a news article where the Luton Manager (Mr Newell) slags off women referees and women in general. I’m sure you would agree that this is a strange remark although sidey put a more sinister slant on this. There was a schoolboy relish with which rightback made this remark.

END OF TOPIC

In the meantime (#25), I am still puzzled why no-one was critical about the setter – it was Enigmatist who turned Greer into a ‘sexist’.

But then, as the French say, ‘soit’.

And Sidey, I’m sorry you feel that way towards me (comment 27), but is there really any need to get personal? So it’s a “******* odd world” that I live in, is it? I would suggest that pretty much everyone who posts regularly on this site lives in an odd world to some degree. And all the better for it! I don’t know about anyone else, but there are a great deal of my friends who find my crossword obsession bizarre…

Anyway, Vive La Difference, or something…
