So I was very annoyed at the "whiteness" comment, but also mildly annoyed by the Ryanistas comment and also the political comments, and most of all by the whole tenor of this thread. Most of BF is very supportive and helpful; it boggles the mind why all this came up here. To quote the great philosopher: "Why can't we just all get along?"
On the other hand, I read the latest in this damn thread every, single, day. Go figure.
