OK. I wouldn't say anything but you're talking about the community I love. So here's the deal.
Five different people speculated it was you.
You posted nothing. Repeatedly.
Anonymous posted in response that "what happened to this place? it used to be so supportive and nice and kind. now it's just... mean."
Now in the first post you post since all this speculation, you are unhappy that the image had male/female speculators, but once again fail to mention the Ibby/not Ibby speculators; and your conclusion is, like Anonymous, that the Cellar is no longer supportive and nice and kind.
See, if it was you, and please! surely it was, then for you to say "I'm appalled you think it was a man!!" is either game-playing of the highest order, or a delusional take on self, gender, and the real world.
More than anything, what is needed everywhere is complete honesty and yes, an acceptance of others' values. But start with yourself, not everybody else, because that's easier.
