I think jbk and ibram bring it on themselves, truth be told.

And I like them both.

The biggest thing for me is the outrage thrown at jbk when he says shit about abortion or homosexuality or whatever. Lord knows I don't agree with him one iota, but if we are to 'understand' perhaps we could talk instead of screaming misogynistic homophobic freak of nature piece of shit at him.

On the same token, I think ibram wants understanding too, but yelling isn't going to bring it about. I think he should calm down, and give people who don't understand his choices a minute to mull something over before he throws out words like "twisted sick fuck."

And, I could be wrong, but my feeling is that is what henry was pointing out. We are expected to understand Ibram (and I want to) but we are not expected to understand one goddam thing about jbk.

eta: Unfair of me to speak for anyone. That's how I've been feeling about the whole thing.

This is what this all stemmed from. In my humble opinion.

Intentional or? I have written about 5 replies to [shim]?? and have deleted them for just that reason.
