A Quick Wag Of My Finger

92 words.

I disagree with SWAC Girl on most things. But I also can’t condone the rantings of Cobalt6 writers, especially when they rail against her personally. I certainly understand that it’s infuriating to see grown adults writing things that seem deceptive or counter-intuitive, but childish name-calling is not the way to win over an audience to your point of view. It’s rather easy to dismiss it as, well, childish name-calling. And while I’m at it, ambushing elected officials with video cameras is pretty lame, too. “Gotcha” politics degrades democracy and suppresses thoughtful debate.

There may be formatting problems that I haven't addressed yet. There may be problems with missing or mangled images that I haven't fixed yet. There may have been comments on the original post, which I have archived, but I haven't quite worked out how to show them on the new site.
