skull_bearerWell, sort of. I'm the 'scary looking feminist' mentioned in the second paragraph. A pity the article was written by, and commented on, by some of the most immense idiots this side of the Bible Belt.
I mean, really. Me? Scary? If you get scared by a young woman in a olive drab jacket, then you had better hide under the bed because you are clearly in no state to face the world.
Also, they have the nerve to joke that taking children to the rally was 'child abuse'? When they were taking kids to sweat it out for hours on end in a baking hot day to pay attention to a decrepid old fart preaching hate, and who has systematically covered up actual child abuse cases? Where do these people get off? And that's just the start of it, how about dismissing 'sexual liberation, gay rights, universal contraception' as mere 'novelties'. Yes you faschist fucktard, freedom from sexual oppression, equal rights for a fair chunk of the community and protection from deadly STDs and unwanted children are just 'novelties'.
'The papal protestors have consistently treated the Pope like some sort of radical cleric forcing his strange oriental beliefs on our country.'
Um... yes? Because that's what he is! A radical, disgusting vile bigot which more than three quarters of UK Catholics disagree with, of which you are clearly not one of them, dickbag.
Oh, and incidentally, there were African people at the protest. Not many of them, admittedly, which is an interesting point the commentator neglects almost entirely.
So then, yay for getting in the news. I just wish I could have worked out which commentator this was, so I could have kicked him in the pants. Repellent little fuck

Date: 2010-09-25 07:09 pm (UTC)ALSO. I wrote a short piece in your Ivory and Ebony series, here: http://ardeth30.livejournal.com/9498.html
It's from Caramon's POV, during one of the chapters of Ice & Steel... it's nowhere near your stuff, IMO, but it's the only one I've had the courage to post. And not throw away. So... if I've made any errors or anything, let me know.
