Thanks for getting in there and trying to have a dialogue. I opened the comment box a couple of times but realized that I wasn't going to help matters much, because mostly I wanted to tell certain people that they were being GIGANTIC ASSHATS. I'm a little stunned that after all the work that's been done at WisCon over the last several years around how to talk about difficult subjects, that we're still seeing conversations where people think it's acceptable to insult, browbeat, and be otherwise superior-sounding d-bags.

Yeah. I'm kind of angry.

This is an area that I'm really interested in discussing, but the way that thread was playing out I didn't think I could contribute in a real way, so I'm keeping quiet for now. But I really, really appreciate those of you that are in there trying to get down to something sensible. So thank you.

*sigh* I feel like i could go off on a rant, but at the same time don't know what to say. I guess i tend to find a comfort in the joke i play on people who think they know what I am about, what my religion or politics look like etc. I laugh at them behind their backs. I am making a study on what people assume, day to day.
