Just so the rumor does not grow beyond fact I thought I would share my reasoning with you all.....There are now 2 troll army's attacking the board, in addition to the usual smattering of haters, religious zealots and such. They are still sending vile obscene PM's to people and using me "running away" as proof of their success. That alone was enough to draw me back to make a show of posting. But reading all the other posts with All this talk of free speech and tolerating the intolerable made me think.
How can we tolerate the intolerant? What do we do when tolerance is assymetrical? I am a straight female anglo-Catholic christian by doctrine and humanist by practice and in a few months I will have lived one half a century.
Yes I am troll intolerant. Proudly so. And yes I have been severely criticized in this forum and by PM by some regular posters for this...In my daily life I am intolerant of many things including hate and hate mongering, terrorism in all it's forms blatant and insidious, bigotry, religious zealotry, The Christian Right and the anti-religion Left, violence, prejudice and lack of respect of the humanity in all of us... I will fight injustice with my last breath is need be, I suffer no fools or tyrannts gladly.
inspired by Celeste Harry:[/red] Christopher can scoff, Jack, but I know how hard you've been praying; and now God is answering your prayers.
C. S. Lewis:[/red] That's not why I pray, Harry. I pray because I can't help myself. I pray because I'm helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesn't change God, it changes me.
Shadowlands (1993)
This is always the way it is with what really matters - you do it because you need to do it, not to manipulate reality, or others, or the future. When you change, the world changes. SO, that said, when someone, who has not even seen this film, comes on TOB to shout and gnash their teeth to further a hateful opinion, or cause pain to perfect strangers minding their own business and posting on IMDb This or any other message board. Hell yes I'm going to have something to say about it and I'm going to vote with my report and ignore buttons.
Does that mean I won't be here posting and chatting and playing ABC and I love everything BBM...Hell no ya'all are stuck with me so get use to it
