A balanced discussion of gender identity? Hardly. There were ridicule and character assassination directed against an individual, and a few voices of caution going, "That isn't nice."
But that is beside the point, really. You say that the Drivel thread proves that a few people agree with you. Which people? Which statements in particular? Don't be so coy; tell us directly: "I agree with [A, B and C] that [D]." Otherwise, linking to that discussion is meaningless. It allows you, later on, to say, "Those weren't my words; that was Peaguy and some other people doing their thing. Nothing to do with me. I didn't instigate it."
