You white knights are funny. Pathetic, but funny. The internet is full of petulant children who say unrepeatable things to people just for the lulz. Is it the way it should be? No, one would hope that people could be as civil online as you would expect them to be in real life. However, that is the way it is. No matter what your gender, race, religion, orientation, identification, or shoe size is, you will have to deal with it. If you can't, then consider not participating in online interactions where trolls are present. I'm sure the Dames are quite experienced dealing with these trolls, and if they are actually about what they say the are about, then they don't need you to apologize and stand up for them. They realize the trolls are just trolls and the best way to deal with them is to not feed them. As sincere and well written as this "apology" is, you must understand that it comes across as pathetic and thirsty.
