Reply #40: I admit it: he poked a bear

[lapislzi]

I am slow to anger, but the red button got pushed with that reply from the reporter. I wasn't really angry until the sanctimony swam to the surface. I cannot abide sanctimony. Intellectually I know that is completely outside the scope of the issue, counterproductive, blood-pressure-raising, and all the rest of it, but...I'm human, and it's my kid.

All I wanted to do with that initial letter, which was courteous and polite, was to question the policy.
