No. People say hideous things about Palin, and highly misogynistic things, and it goes by the wayside. I don’t consider, “I don’t see why yall are making such a big deal about this” to be an apology, but it’s also not about PT. Or Obama. I have a very big problem with the fact that now that it’s fashionable to dislike Palin, you can say whatever fucked up stuff you want to say about her. Thanks for asking; I respect you very much and that’s why I give you an explanation.

OK. Thank you for explaining your thoughts on this, I appreciate the insight and the courtesy.

I also apologize if I seemed blunt in asking—sometimes I just can’t think of any elegant way to address issues.

I agree that we need to be careful about the kind of language we use around here, and that a group consensus about a person such as Palin does give people more leeway to say out-of-line things.

Luckily, we have a good group. And Charles.
