I shame the matriarchy

My blog, my rules; retroactive:

1) no punking, no pwning, no serving, no taunting, no humiliating. I mean it.

2) no ganging up (as if there ever could be enough commenters where that could be a danger...)

3) no "scare quotes" - just say what you mean.

4) stupid questions are more than welcome - I'm sure I'll have a stupid answer (and/or tell you where to find the real answer).

if you have something to say to me, you can say it here, as long as you're civil. If you want to totally lose your shit at me, that's fine, as long as you're civil. There are plenty of ways to disagree and yet keep the discourse at respectful levels. it's not always easy or pleasant, but it's possible, and indeed necessary if any real learning is to take place.
