Feel free to post it wherever, as long as you link it back here, too.

Bhuhahahahaha I laughed right outloud. I secretly want to copy this and post it in about a hundred places rather than responding to the crap that happens. I think you put it well and in a lovely witty way!

I have been looking for good books for my kids on prehistory, you know, the bits from 4.5 billion years ago through to 10000 years ago. But guess what, I don’t dare ask on TWTM forum!

It was a magnificent train wreck. Full-blown derailing, cars scattered everywhere, the works.

Was there a crazy thread on nutrition? Now I have to go look for it!

You know, I haven’t been on TWTM boards for several months, but happened to log in the other day and saw that thread … the title just seemed to scream TRAIN WRECK IN PROCESS, so I skipped it. As a matter of fact, I’m still not reading it because I opened another thread about nutrition earlier today, and then vowed to not visit the board again for at least a day. I like TWTM boards because the overall level of discourse is a little more intelligent than many online communities, but sometimes the crazies seem to be running amok and it’s better to just walk away.

Also, I think the line “the heathens called and they want their holidays back” is great. I’m fantasizing about blurting it out at an appropriate time.

People on LJ always make those “boob nazis scare women off from breastfeeding” comment. I think that might actually be an accurate assessment of what the vocal, hateful Christians do for Christianity.

I love that Gandhi quote, btw. I actually tweeted it the same day I wrote this!

I’ve always had a certain degree of “call it like I see it.” Generally, I try to call it politely, but sometimes my buttons just get pushed too often and too aggressively for me to be able to muster up any degree of tact.

Glad to be of service.

There belief and then there’s “good grief.” Some of those nutbags crossed the line like crazy.
