Beware the Angry Tranny!!!!
After my last post, I figured I'd best clarify a few things. I believe in public shaming. I do. I've done it. If you're a serious asshole who has been given a chance or three to know better, you deserve to be hung out to dry. I think that the public shaming of bullies and thugs is both called for and effective.
I also think that it is overused. If we are friends or family and you and I have a moment or seven... This ain't easy stuff. Unless you are actively wishing me ill or proactively being mean, I'm not gonna shame you on here. We can still talk, even though I'm getting cranky, here. I may use an interaction to make a point, but you won't get named or shamed. Do not fear the livejournal. It is an instrument of good.
