You realize you're not talking to the same person, right? You should probably read the names of the people that you respond to before berating other people for nothing. :)

So, you think that immersing yourself in a world of trigger words and images is a good idea for a rape victim? Do you also think that alcoholics should hang around with bars? Gross. (Seriously, "Gross"... are you trying to bring it back or something? Do you feel that this word really needs a resurgence?)

You're very welcome. And thank you for never being reductive or sarcastic in turn, I sure do appreciate it. ;)

If you ever hung out with any mobsters you'd know that they rationalize and philosophize constantly. Actually, if you know any Republicans, you'll get the same diatribes. So, I think the writing is basically par for the course in matching type.

I think that that is the exact reason that there is such a heavy backlash against this article. Well said.

Heh, you should read movie discussion forums sometime if you think that gamers are alone in being belligerent.

I think he knows what they mean, and I think he's right. You may want to take that white armor off some time, it's got to be heavy on you. :)

You're right, it does make you an asshole... but... it is also protected under the first amendment.

Inquisitiveness? I would rather say, "Why trust this person based on their personal taste?" :)

Unfortunately, I did read it, but I'll wipe it from my mind and just put this here instead:

Here's another piece of advice that Elice G—-n should have given you, "Don't take critiques personally". Read it, if you want to; absorb it, and take anything from it that seems to help you and discard the rest. If you're comfortable writing with an expanded vernacular, that's fine, but you're going to have a smaller…

LOL, no... and I didn't keep chewing.

Kids start walking at about 1.

Different kids have different personalities. My oldest son would have definitely moved around fearlessly. My youngest would run giggling after the shadow people.

My knees are shot, so running's never an option. I either fight or die. But, I have had a knife pulled on me before when I was in the Guardian Angels. I charged him and bit him on the face.... people tend not to expect that. Even then, I got very, very lucky.
