re: #25 Charles Johnson

It was 12 years ago, and she writes A LOT. I don’t think it’s that much of a stretch that she might not have remembered them. And keep in mind that in 2006, these kinds of casual gay-bashing comments were totally ordinary, even among left wing bloggers. (There’s an article at The Nation about this very point, with plenty of examples.)

Things have changed more than I think people realize since then.

You may not remember your actual posts and how they were written.

But surely you remember how you felt about the issue all of your life.

And if you remember how you generally felt and how you probably talked about it all at that time in your life, then you pretty much know if you wrote something like that or not.

It is not writing about something unfamiliar that is easy to forget. You know yourself unless you have some kind of traumatic experience that wipes your past thoughts and feelings from your mind.
