you know, Doc, you can dislike someone...you can disagree intellectually with somene (I don't particular like the title of Sierra's blog, nor do I like some of her commentary) but to go online and reiterate the horrid Jack-the-Lad saying that equates women with garden slugs is neither funny nor defensible. when Laddies get together and say those sorts of things among themselves, they reinforce their own flagging masculinity in the face of someone they perceive as unattainable. But when their sentiments are posted in public, the sentiments take on a whole new and more ominous tone and meaning....it would have been far nicer if folks who are smart enough and have enough clout just challenge Kathy on some of her theories vs. getting into these sorts of really godawful personal attacks...
BTW, another woman by the name of Peggy Phillip--a Memphis tv exec--was run out of the blogosphere last year...from Terry Heaton's blog entry on the incident:
