emmagrant01I hate it the most when I know and care about people on both sides. I hate the nastiness it seems to bring out in people I otherwise like and respect. It's just disheartening to see people you have always thought of as generally nice people be petty and cruel -- apparently just because they can. Why kick people when they're down? It only makes you look like an asshole, you know.
I quit teaching high school for good reason. Too bad fandom sometimes makes me feel like I'm right back there.
*sigh*
Here, have a GIP.

Quote: God seems almost neutral on the subject of sexual orientation. I say "almost" because if we look at the density of gay groups relative to the population as a whole, there is a small but statistically significant (p < .05) correlation with the occurrence of tornadoes. And it's a negative correlation (r = -.28). For those of you who haven't used statistics since 1973, that means that a high concentration of gay organizations actually protects against tornadoes. A state with the population of, say, Alabama could avert two tornadoes a year merely by doubling the number of gay organizations in the state. (Tough choice for Alabama's civil defense strategists.)

Date: 2005-09-12 03:09 pm (UTC)And then the wank started. It's like as soon as fandom seems to get comfortable, and passed wank it flares up again. It's like menstration in that it seems like every month we get 4 or 5 days of wank.
