It was just a story!
You guys are amazing to me, how you can inflate something as simple as a story into this monumental thing.
I wrote the piece in 15 minutes. You're spending 48 hours debating every nuance of something that means nothing.
Totally bizarre.
I care about being a part of a community that doesn't let the escalation of (real and perceived) slights debase the overall conversation. That's what I'm talking about. You spent 15 minutes on a story, I've spent the last few years trying to be a constructive part of this community.
I get this all the time. When people hear how I talk they're suprised because it's not the voice they hear when they read my writing. But I write just the way I talk. Funny how that is. ;-)
Don't mind me, I am just holding back the tide.
