Hi Diane,

Kind of interested to hear your take on the "incident" today...and if you could read my post on Todd's page, I'd appreciate it if you commented...especially if you disagree. I respect your opinion (i've always appreciated how you write about gender equality)...so I'd rather hear a friendly voice among the dissenters... lol

Hi Eric. I'm still putting together my posts, so I won't have anything here for a while. I'll go visit Todd's blog, though :)

i'm kind of thinking about deleting the posts because...I'm not accustomed to voicing my opinion so strongly...especially when it's about questionable behavior...ugh...how do you bloggers post all the time and leave yourself open to the jabs of readers...it's a terrible feeling

My readers--at least the ones who post--are smart and thoughtful, so I'm lucky. I read your post, by the way, and I thought you presented your opinion very articulately.

Well, I do not actually imagine it may work.
