Seriously!

When you compare Pants' posts to Danzig's (anyone who disagrees with me is a racist, bigot but she pretends to be tolerant) you might understand my view. Especially when you consider I think Danzig IS an idiot.

Well, since I've been on this board (and I was one of the originals), I've read a lot of posts that make me question the sanity of others...but all we have to go by are words on the screen, hard to judge anyone with so limited a knowledge. Writing someone off simply because you disagree with them or the way they choose their words probably is short-sighted. I refer to Pants' "over-inflated ego" based solely on the content of his posts, for all I know, he could be completely different in person. So, while I may find some of his posts difficult to swallow, I recognize the need to digest them along with those I may agree with. what I guess I'm saying is that intelligent folks can disagree and discourse is preferable to silence.

I am also one of the originals and have met Danzig in person, and genuinely liked her when I met her. (We didn't discuss politics) But her posts are simply regurgitations of salon and huffy and when digested are almost always hypocritical.

At least RIOT would post original thoughts albeit deranged thoughts and I met her in person as well and didn't like her but you can't like everyone.

that was a copypasta.

My father always made sure to avoid them when he was on duty. 'No comment' goes a long way.
weve all seen quotes get twisted to suit the medias needs. Or edited, partial quotes played, etc.
its like the bible, you can find something in there to fit any argument. You think you sa6 something innocuous, and then wham.
i tell my husband its a shame people worked so hard to give us things like the internet, and then you have trolls, or worse, using it to bully or threaten.
