Famous all over town

Apparently, they can't look away. A couple of days after Paul Elam -- the MRA elder I am scheduled to debate on the topic of domestic violence later this week -- launched a weird tirade against me on his blog, I'm now getting attention (and some traffic) from Ferdinand Bardamu at In Mala Fide, in a post urging MRAs to, er, stop paying attention to me.

As is generally the case with my MRA critics, it's basically a bunch of empty insults. But as empty insults go, they're not half bad. He calls me, among other things, a "twerp," a "feminist quisling," and "a miserable mediocrity who’s trying to get famous, an ant in our blog ecosphere." He somehow manages to avoid the term "mangina" altogether.

There is one bit that's actually obnoxious. In an attempt to explain something he said in a homophobic post of his I quoted last week, he says this:

radical gay activists, in their obnoxious way of shoving their lifestyles in the faces of the heterosexual majority and demonizing them, are poking and prodding an elephant. Elephants are big, heavy and have sharp tusks, and can gore or stomp you to death without breaking a sweat. If gays don’t clean up their act and stop treating straight people with contempt ... they could inspire a violent homophobic backlash. Capisce?

Is it just me, or does anyone else suspect that the people given to "warning" gays about a "possible violent homophobic backlash" would be the first to get in line to stomp gays like an elephant in such a backlash?

EDIT: Oops! Speaking of attention, I forgot to add this actual screen capture. Hey, try it yourself.
