It wouldn't have killed you to include a few words of explanation in your original post. Most of us don't routinely click on names you or anybody else post about, and fewer still do on-the-spot off-site research.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

"Most of us", that's a strange thing to say. Since we are all name nerds I'd also assume those replying would take the couple seconds it takes to look up a name before commenting on it.

I believe Wordsmith was simply hooked on their tone due to the very strong, impolite wording they tend to use. Nothing against them, of course.
who is them?
I'm her, if you were referring to me. And there's only one of me.
Wordsmith is a him, if that's who you mean.

I assume so, that's why I told. It was unclear who was being referred to as them.
Yes, I simply didn't know what gender you are, so I stuck gender-neutral to stay safe.
