   It's not pedantic. Pedantic would imply that your complaint has an iota of validity to it, which it does not. You literally cannot exist as a functioning member of society if you are opposed to using context in interpreting communication, o

   This is not pedantic, it's asinine. Almost every single lexical object is overloaded with multiple meanings, so it is incumbent upon an addressee to put in a modicum of effort to use context in interpreting communication. There's really no

   Except real journalism probably never would have covered such an insignificant event. Blogs have a lower barrier to entry, but they also have a lower barrier to entry, if you follow.

    I guess, if you prefer the Kafka version of reality. Meanwhile, a woman tells one 20 second story in one video, and then every day for the two years hence, people fucking can't stop bringing it up and berating her for it. Then whenever she

    I appreciate the offer, but no, thanks. I've got more interesting things to do than make your own case for you. Thou dost protest too much, by the way.

    I love how people deleting blog comments is labeled "censorship" as though it's morally similar to a government suppressing speech. It is not remotely "censorship" for a private individual to stop you from producing content in the spaces th

    Funny. I'd say she has a reputation for not backing down from controversial topics in the face of continuous harassment.

    This doesn't make any sense. How does writing about two different things mean that a person is not concerned about both?

    "Open-mindedness" does not mean giving undue respect to every dumbass idea that crosses your desk. I think it's actually productive to shame ridiculous ideas in order to encourage skepticism. Also the notion that a blog post should be writt

    There isn't one. "Kid" can mean the young of either humans or goats. "Child" is a bit more formal, but that's about it.

    Yes, but this only affects people's online activities. It additionally forces otherwise innocent people to open themselves up to offline, real-life harassment.
