I just read through the original exchange and frankly, I couldn't see anything for anyone to take offense over, unless, of course, one has little respect for the opinions of women to begin with.

As for the inscriptions on the rock bearing some resemblance to Linear A, I don't see that either.  First off, there only appear to be a few inscriptions on the rock.  Perhaps in person, more are visible.  But the upside down triangle appears in the inscriptions of many ancient peoples, many of whom aren't even given credit for having a language.

Here are the writings of Glozel, Iberian and ancient Azilian:



Now here is Gwen's original table of Linear A:



I hope that everyone see that Linear A has more in common with the previous languages than the markings on the rock. 

There are actually only so many symbols one can carve into a rock. It would stand to reason that more than one civilization would be using one or two of them.
