I don't understand this. There is an American conservative I know who has considerable stores of intellectual honesty, learning and understanding. I like him and I appreciate debates with him, even when they get tetchy, because he understands what facts are and has a good store of them. But for some reason his LJ seems to draw the very dregs of ( Read more... )

A person who was on my friends list made me the offensive "gift" of an "I stand with Planned Parenthood" tag. The only occasion I would stand with Planned Parenthood would be if I were a cop and I had the pleasure to take the members of that murderous organization to jail. I defriended the person concerned.

Some damned fanatic went and added some insults (and no intelligent response) to a post I made FOUR YEARS AGO and which some other filth had, at the time, mischaracterized as racist.

The last time we debated, I was having a sleepless night, which is ( Read more... )

I got a horrendous virus last night and I had to reformat and rewrite my whole hard drive. I had of course saved everything I could think of on external hard drives, but I only realized after starting work that I had lost all my favourites/bookmarks. And it took me hours just to get the machine restarted and properly online. Still, it could have ( Read more... )

What do you do when the Livejournal of one of your best friends on the net - in this case, dustthouart - hosts a person whose every feature you loathe, but who happens to be a childhood friend of your friend? I like and admire user, but I had to defriend her rather than having to do with this person again. This is something I have been forced to do only once ( Read more... )
