Oh gods. I clicked on a link to an op-ed I shouldn't have, and read the comments. The willfully, gleefully intolerant and narrow-minded comments. Why did I DO that?

I suppose it's good to be reminded, every now and again, that there is stupidity and intolerance and narrow-mindedness in the world...so long as one doesn't linger long enough there that it stains. Ugh.

Dear friends (and people I don't know) who don't identify with traditional binary gender roles of any sort: you have my sword, as Aragorn would say.

And mine.

Thank you for not linking--I sometimes look out of morbid curiosity.

Ditto this, 100%.

Yeah, I really don't want to give this person's vitriol any more hits.

Yeah, I'm glad you didn't link either. I'm heading out to drop off a kid at piano shortly, and I know that when I walk up and down the mall the lessons are at I'm going to hear a huge amount of anti-Obama vitriol.

"Oh, yay."

I rarely look at the "comments" anymore, and when I do it is with great caution.
