Yes you did, which is why I'll respond seriously. And because I do have some respect for you, based upon your writings. And btw, I was wondering where you were, since I just yesterday checked your transparency when I saw I hadn't seen you post anything lately.

If you reread what you just wrote, and sum it up, it comes down to 'everyone posting against her are trolls'. You're saying that no matter how 'soft' or 'kind' or with whatever approach you take, it doesn't matter. Nothing will change. And if you honestly believe that, I don't even understand why you would waste your time in posting.

I do believe you can create change, here and there, a poster or two at a time. And what you say is a 'flaw in my criticism' is what I would simply call a disagreement about the tactics employed in attempting to create that change. You don't feel my tactics are worthwhile, while I feel the tactics that employ a more aggressive or even 'angry' tone are counterproductive.

Do you think the Ferguson police handled the protests well? Or Israel and Gaza? Meeting anger with anger? Force with force? Aggression leads to aggression. It only 'feeds' the trolls when you respond to the insults.

I'm not disagreeing on 'the issue', simply disagreeing with the efficacy of the chosen tactics.

I'm done, too. [View all] redqueen Aug 2014 OP
