The soft light did not hide the obvious, which is to say your intense and masculine beauty. I just sort of gasped, and listened to the gentle come-and-go of your breath, and I wondered, again, how it was that I, of all the women in Albuquerque, got so lucky to have been found by you.
Magnificent.

By she, do you mean Valdes, James, or Meyer?
Valdes seems pretty sharp to me, despite eye-rolling crap like:
Alisa Valdes @MizAlisa Ironic: When the same folks taking me to task for challenging extreme feminism try minimize my intellect with: "She just a romance writer".
Alisa Valdes @MizAlisa A word to reassure my loved ones: I have thick skin, emotionally. The criticism was expected. I questioned feminism. Sacred cow. I'm fine!

Valdes. Sharp? This is ridic: "It would be a mistake for Manhattan publishing to simply roll their eyes at the "wacko evangelicals" in the "fly-over states" who are reading the new traditionalist fiction by the trainload."
"Manhattan publishing" is doing no such thing, they're making money off "bonnet books" and women's fiction directed at calming the fears of religious Middle America as fast as we, I mean they can. Points for strawmanning though.

Orbit, we totally agree, but there are plenty of examples of intelligent people who are capable of writing well who churn out drivel and bad, lazy, reactionary ideas. *shrugs*

i admit in the midst of this rather dire thread i irl lold and sort of did a little celebration when i realized jonviachi was still engaged in fully defending himself against any and all race war accusations
If you had actually taken time to read the thread, you would've seen that I was not defending myself against any accusations, I was calling out Mordy for a needless personal attack. But considering you are one of ilx's bigger bullies as well, I don't expect much different from you.

kind of interesting that a thread about a situation where a person was constantly belittled and marginalized contains a bunch of posts where several posters belittle and marginalize another one
also gives some excellent examples for my point to in orbit about how easy it is for people to slip into being abusive with words

I've now transitioned from resisting the urge to poke at Mordy to wanting to poke at jon/via/chi 2.0.
It's nothing personal. There's just this compulsion, like in the red button gag.
I think this is the rush bullies feel when some red-faced kid is sputtering in indignation.

probably, but i'm sick of the fucking pile-on after i explicitly explain how tired i am of the goddamn "race war" bullshit. i wish the mods would sack up and do something about bullying on this board for once.

for me the thing thats funny about isnt how easy it is to send jon over the edge, its the absurdity of how easy it would be for him to end the race war, instead he fights on
