Thanks, but I am not incosolate. It was, even in that venue, what I expected. Had any of them been clever, on point, or even well reasoned, it might have stung, but I've got pretty thick skin.
None of them threatened to kill me, so it's not a big deal.
But yeah, I was suprised that no one else seemed to think it offensive.
It seems they think such tactics are all right, if the cause is just (which is one of the oddities of one of the people who disagreed with me. She is a "purer than thee" type, who sees all in a prism of what should have been (and so fails to have as much impact on what could be) and would, I think, be willing to do horrible things, in the name of "right" though such behaviours are what she decries in the past.
Well, I'm sure you weren't wounded by an annoying LJ argument, but sometimes I know I get down just by virtue of the fact it seems necessary for the discussion to be taking place.

But I digress.
