I Am So Over Myself Right Now*

I spent a large part of the day dealing with some racist crap in a comments thread on Feministe. Which just totally made me cranky. And I'm lucky, because racist shit like that only makes me cranky, but has no significant direct negative impact on my life.

So why do I bring that up? Because then I got all weird about a comment I left over at Ilyka's. No, you can't read the original, because I deleted it. I thought the first paragraph was too snarky. Really, it probably wasn't, but my perspective isn't on tonight. But not before someone responded to it, and then Ilyka said she liked it, and then I wound up posting like three comments in a row, so now I feel totally dorky.

So I'm totally over myself right now. I think I'm leaving the intertubes for the night (I know, I say that now...). I TiVoed "Heroes" earlier anyway. Mmm, Mohinder.

Okay, I've only just peeked into the Feministe thread (what is it with the racists and Feministe?), but that was long enough to see you address someone as "RM."

If that's the RM I think it is, NO WONDER you're worn out. That is one obstinate little fella. He's just plain pigheaded.

Don't worry about the serial comments! I blame the moderation. You see why I hate it? It screws up everyone's timing.

(Ah-ha, it IS the RM I thought it was. Oy, oy.)

Yeah, same guy, but in this case, he actually wasn't the worst offender. That was N.

With RM, though, I begin to wonder whether he's really just that clueless and pig-headed, or whether he puts it on. Maybe I'm just too optimistic about the capacity of people to grasp the obvious, but I just can't believe he's that stupid.

Wow, I fine myself two commenting points for over-use of the word "just". Damn.
