Quote of the day:
Assumption, my dear Mitz, is the mother of all fxxck-ups. The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert
Yesterday there were a few links to Mining Nuggets. Always good for the stats and fun to watch as the graph rises steeply for a day in the life.
Two of the links mentioned me in ways that moved the cockles of my heart to be genuinely warmed and nourished. I felt gratitude to Ronni and Frank. No. Much more than that. I was deeply honored.
Well, and then there was a third link, an attack on my personal opinion. This is all ... er ... well and good. Isn't that what a healthy democracy is all about? different personal opinions? Oh yes, and name-calling? You know, something about my being a "wing-nut" or something.
But then came the bigoted ignorance part: assumptions based on one sentence in my about page that mentions my life partner. Tsk, Tsk. Too bad. Too bad. Pity that there's so much ignorance out there.
So many bent inferences, so little time.
Yeah, Adriana! I think I would make one too! And I definitely agree ... ignorable.
Thanks.

Oh wow, Tamar, I don't know. I think you'd make a very cute lesbian!
Seriously, that guy is very "ignorable".

Hi ainelivia,
Good to hear from you again. Let's just keep on working at developing our pockets of light, eh?
Smiles.

i suppose it's a case of "if you are not with us you must be against us", kind of thinking. Euuuuugh...
Went over there and left comment, it's unlikely I'll be going back, i just felt very angry at the whole tone.
what exactly is a wing-nut anyway, i mean apart from the obvious that it's a nut with wings, i mean i know what the actual object looks like, but what does it mean when applied to a human being?
