Garak,
I hate to tell people this but i really don't get worked up about anything on this site.. or any internet site. I comment, put my two cents in, and sometimes I feel empathy for the stories I hear (just read John Dias yesterday and my heart went out to him) but I do not get upset or take anything people say personally. you can say a lot of things about me but I think my long-standing membership without ever saying "you're being mean to me....whine" speaks for itself . Believe me you guys are teddybears compared to the likes of anniee (old member who hated me because I was a swedish feminist and a whore)
Why? Because you don't know me and I don't know you, I mean who we really are. Heck if I can have enough of a thick skin to not get upset when my mom, dad, mother-in-law, or even the kids sometimes say things that are rather insulting why would I let someone I don't know get under my skin? Besides maybe you need to vent.. and that's ok. I think what I need to do is call out the type of person who feels sorry for a 6 year old because her cunt was too small, we all do what we need to do.
I apologize for adding to the derailment of this thread... should be my last words on the subject.
P.S I'm Canadian
