re: #221 sizzleRI

The fact that there was another iceweasel at Pandagon was sooo confusing. LGF was linked there when Charles had his 10 reasons to part with the right. I thought the list was very cool and stayed around to read the comments. And I saw you commenting. I then read more of the Pandagon thread and the iceweasel there was saying she/he didn’t care what Charles said LGF would always be a hate blog, blah blah blah. I was trying to reconcile the two ices and decided there must be 2 of you.

There’s iceweasels all over the leftysphere because it’s from a matt groening quote. I’m not any of them and the pandagon iceweasel is probably not any of the others.

This topic is so important to me so I also responded intemperately at times. I don’t think Ludwig is hateful, I think he was letting his hate for certain viewpoints and people color his arguments.

I completely agree. It is an important topic and it’s one that needs discussion. And I don’t believe LVQ is a misogynist; the point that people were making in various ways was that he was using misogynistic language— and that language can be misogynistic even if that isn’t the speaker’s intent.

It’s important to be able to discuss that especially with the people who have good intentions and don’t intend to be part of the problem. And I have no doubt that LVQ is in that category.
