Feminists

growing horror, dismay, shock and astonishment.

I challenge each of you who have posted on this thread to go back with a fresh eye -- tomorrow, perhaps -- and read through the thread thoughtfully and with an open mind, post by post, starting at the top. Most of you participating have grilled this woman and subjected her to the likes of an inquisition. You have DEMANDED answers of her as if she were on trial in a jury, and you were the prosecutors. YOU ARE NOT. And no matter what you think of her, her partner, or whatever, you really didn't have the right to subject her to that treatment. Most of you have NOT been looking for more information, but for reasons to find her guilty.

Whatever else may or may not be true, whatever else YOU think, she was reinstated. It's time you respected that instead of trying to force or goad her into saying something that will get her banned again.

If you read the thread with a somewhat open mind, instead of dragging old baggage that you think is true about her and/or feldspar, I think you will be ashamed of yourselves. Scratch that. I KNOW you'll be ashamed of yourselves, unless you can't reach that objectivity. But that's okay, I'm probably ashamed enough of you for all of us.

Here's a bit of irony. I don't think I've ever heard the acronym FAAB before. However, I was greatly amused to find out that apparently, even members of the LGBT community who are so busy excoriating her aren't all that clear on the meaning: See especially POSTS 51 THRU 95

Now, I am going to call on the Hosts here -- whoever they are -- to take action and insist that THIS TYPE of behavior, this ganging up on a person en masse and DEMANDING answers as in an inquisition no longer be tolerated. If you genuinely want information, there are ways to ask questions of people in a civil, friendly tone -- without treating them convicted child molesters or something, fer cripes sake.
