Anna,

That thread is looking pretty good now. I recognize a lot of names. If you’d like to post directly to PumaResponders when situations like this turn up, email me the address you’d like to use and I’ll add you (and anyone else who would like it).

So much for my writing…I didn’t complete the middle sentence. I mean that if someone is moved to think of things even slightly differently than they had before, then that is so great. Though, I didn’t just fall off the turnip truck and I doubt that happens very often.

Good night all.

Thanks everyone for your support.

Amy, not to worry. I realize when I put something out there in the public domaine like that, all sorts of folks are going to respond. It’s the nature of blogs. I actually like interacting with bloggers. The thing about blogs is that oftentimes everyone just states their case and that’s that. But what I think would be so great is if even just one person was moved to think things through even just ever so slightly (and that could be me, as well, as the writer). I’ve had my work published before and the first time I was a bit shell-shocked, but now I know to expect it and I think a lot of bloggers appreciate and respect it when the writer hangs in and responds. Irrespective of whether they do or not, I like to. But, it certainly helped today when folks like all of you balanced some of the negative stuff. I don’t even mind the negative stuff. Everyone has a right to their opinion. It’s when it’s imbued with all sorts of nastiness that it’s a bit hard to take. (Those are the ones I ignore.)

Thank you, Anna, for the great editorial at Pajamas Media. We need to get our voice out there. There are a lot of negative, sexist, misogynist, and just plain ignorant comments dismissing the Favreau issue on the site. We need to counter these comments, educate these people, and keep the pressure on.

Suggested Action Plan:

1. Please go Anna’s editorial at Pajamas Media and KEEP THE COMMENTS COMING–to counter the negative comments there, and to teach the public why Favreau’s behavior is unacceptable and why he should be fired.

It’s easy to comment on the site, and it can be done anonymously. In fact, people can make more than one comment on the site. Here’s the link: http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/g.....n-favreau/

Great piece Anna. Thanks for writing this and sharing it with us. I left you a comment.

BTW, do yourself a favor and don’t read comments (and if you have don’t take them in). The hit squads are huge for whatever you write. It doesn’t take much guts to hide behind a fake internet name apparently.

Thia, Too crazy – We were both typing literally at the same time! Anyway, thanks again today for all your support.

fsteele – As long as I’m posting another post, FYI, I have no idea how to e-mail you. (NOT encouraging you to post your e-mail here.) I hope you see the links Thia and I posted.
