Keith's note: There are a surprising number of people associated with the so-called "NewSpace" crowd who do not seem to find this sort of reprehensible public behavior on Twitter (see screen grab below) by a semi-prominent blogger/pundit/supporter of their ilk (one regularly accredited as news media) as evidenced at the FAA CST conference this week in Washington, DC - to be in any way objectionable.
Newsflash: Don't be surprised when no one cares what you think.
I have had to block several profane comments. There are a number of comments that condone these comments because they are funny (in their minds). These responses are almost as troubling as the original Twitter post and speak to some strange opinions as to what is considered to be appropriate public behavior. Yet another troubling aspect of some of the adherents of the NewSpace meme. Grow up guys.

Keith's update: Well, he finally got around to apologizing
@AIAA I want to apologize to you and @Astro_Sandy. That tweet was not about her in any way, but get how it could have been interpreted so.
— Rand Simberg (@Rand_Simberg) February 6, 2015@AIAA @Astro_Sandy It was late in day, could have been anyone's chart with that word, but I do humbly regret it. Beg forgiveness.
— Rand Simberg (@Rand_Simberg) February 6, 2015@AIAA I have nothing but respect for @Astro_Sandy's accomplishments, and again deeply regret any accidental implication otherwise.
— Rand Simberg (@Rand_Simberg) February 6, 2015But his orignal insulting tweet is still online - then he decided to make fun of this by tweeting this with a mocking hashtag
@w_mccan I don't expect anyone to defend me in #MasturbateGate, but I do expect merciless mocking of Keith's reaction to it.
