valarltdI read Tennessee Guerrilla Women. Sometimes I comment.
Of late, the fanaticism level has been rising, and I posted what I thought was a moderating sort of comment.
WRONG!
I know better than to get between true-believers and their Kool-aid.
The first thing Barbara Hambly taught me was don't argue with fanatics. Sometimes, I'm a slow learner.
I got a whole column devoted to the ways I was wrong.

And someone in the comments suggested banning me because I'm a romance writer.
Which confuses the daylights out of me.
As a writer (even one of romance), especially one of futuristics and contemporaries, I like to think I stay pretty well informed.
On the plus side?
Website traffic skyrocketed.
