This was a really good one because it hits on so many things. I can understand signal to noise ratio issues especially when dealing with difficult topics because one runs into ahistorical twits, liars, and bigots. The thing is to either ignore them or gleam what little info is there and watch them proudly display their bigotry and stupidity. This particular one would have been useful a week or so ago, but it still has its place.

I agree. Her point about *everyone* having "a closet" was a compelling one. lumberjack_jeff Nov 2013 #4
I agree. Wonderful stuff. Universalizes the issue without minimizing particular struggles. nomorenomore08 Nov 2013 #7
