yendiThat's my schedule for the day. For reals (and I only have that because a meeting ended early).
So this will be brief:
The ability to post something vile, hateful, and racist calmly does NOT actually make you intellectual, passionate, honorable, unemotional, logical, or any such crap. It simply makes you calm.
Likewise, getting upset over something you posted does not make the person getting upset unintellectual, nor does the presence of an emotional reaction inherently undercut the arguments a person might be making.
As you were.
