I’d ask this: can he be sued out of the public arena? IOW, can the damages awarded be things like you mention - can’t perform, sell tickets, or place restrictions on his backstage access, etc.? If not that, then bankrupt him, class action style or OJ-method - every dollar earned goes to the women he abused.

Oh, and as a snack - smeared with real butter or the healthier butter-flavored spreads. Yes, I’ll probably die young.

Big fan of saltines. They make an excellent breading, especially when you’re out of panko. Thanks for writing this.

No.

I don’t care much what its called per se. I don’t know where we white people go wrong: media, parents, some singular and formative experience, the very system itself, but I think it is learned behavior and it can be unlearned.

As one who has to almost physically restrain the other to keep them from putting the Christmas decorations up before Thanksgiving Day, I appreciate this nod to sanity, by a retailer no less. Now I can get that inflatable turkey I’ve had my eye on since last year!

Thank you for your efforts, you did the work - I didn’t understand, now I do. I’ve been a white male all of my life, I’m afraid, but I’m not so old I can’t learn a few things.

Can anybody offer any decent or substantive reason for any of this cruelty? Every day, worse and worse. What fresh Hell, indeed.

I got the message. I was 100% wrong, and I apologize. I didn’t think it was a big deal, I won’t bother with the “what I meant to say”, and I’ve been educated.

All I can say is, I was wrong, 100%, and I apologize for it.

I hear you. I didn’t get it. I’m far from “woke” - but I can learn and I do listen. Again, while I appreciate your acceptance, and I don’t necessarily deserve it for being so pigheaded in defending “what I (thought I) meant”, it’s not a condition of my promise to think more deeply about the subjects. I am truly sorry.

I legit feel terrible about this comment. I’d delete it if I could. I don’t get it, and a few folks have helped me see how much I don’t. I sincerely apologize. All I can say is really really didn’t think deeply enough about it first.

I’m just going to offer my sincere apology - I’m sorry. This escalated in a way I did not intend, and I don’t want it on me. Whatever I meant, it didn’t come out right, and I’m going to think on it.

I realize you don’t give a shit, but I will take a step back and think about all this. I will. It’s the least I can do - if my words and opinion inspired someone to view me as you clearly do, I fucked up somewhere, and I sincerely apologize. That’s not who I am, at least, it’s not who I aspire to be.

Gosh. I hope I’ll recover from this.

Ah, see I asked why she didn’t. Out of curiosity. Because I genuinely do not understand why it needed to be a public blast, it seems trivial. So, you know what, I’m wrong. Big dumb white dude wrong, and you’re right. Thanks, it’s been fun.

Why do you?

Sure, anybody would be worked up. You worked me up by jumping to conclusions about my character and beliefs, and the intentionality of my words. I never said I wanted her to stay quiet, I wondered why it was she chose this mode, and I couldn’t care less about David Cross’s reputation. You are trolling because you are…

The very comment to which you originally replied: I said, I am not a minority, and I am not a female; and I was very clear that I cannot begin to understand the experience of being either one or both. I didn’t casually dismiss anything: I said what was on my admittedly privileged mind.

Okay, y’all win. Keep on jumping everybody’s shit. You’re winning hearts and minds.
