> I also find Shanley's demeanor extremely rude, off-putting and counterproductive to a discussion on any topic.

Linus Torvalds is even worse according to your definition of bad demeanor. Would you say that this helps or hurts his advocacy?

Hurts. Same with Steve Jobs. But those fellow are mostly revered despite their attitude, because of their accomplishments. I'd find it hard to believe anyone who claims that a bad demeanor helps one's cause, male or female.

We know who Linus Torvalds is in spite of his demeanor, not because of it. That's not true for Shanley.
