It's Sunday...

So as a summation of stuff...

* Turns out my participation in the response thread of one of the current kerfuffles resulted in the "you support rape!" accusation thrown at me after I disagreed to the "Spike manipulated Buffy in Season 6" argument . (I didn't actually know that I had been accused of supporting rape until someone else told me about it. After seeing the person had responded with a detailed double post itemized hissyfit, I stopped reading and responded with "I'm not going to hijack someone's LJ to have a useless debate" response. I didn't actually read the person's entire, long winded argument because I don't actually care. Really, it's not like I take it personally that someone apparently watched an entirely different show than I did, and I'm not going to change my mind because someone throws the "you're not a feminist" schtick at me.

Anyway, having been told that accusation was lobbed at me... shouldn't there be a Spike-fen codicil to Godwin's Law? I think so. This hysterical accusation should bring the immediate end to a debate and cause a loss by default since it's just an inflammatory, desperate grab for a trump card.

I didn't bother to debate the ridiculous accusation. The person vastly overestimates whether I give a damn about what they think about me, or what I think about their arguments. This is a tired old debate that's been had a billion times before. Let's not delude ourselves that we're going to talk someone into a different position. Save yourself the breath, the energy, and the bandwidth. You're not going to change my mind, and I'm not going to be shivering in my boots thinking I've betrayed feminism or condoned rape (Wish I had an eyeroll emoticon). And if you really are set in a certain mode of thought, I do not believe that I can talk you around to seeing my point of view.

And, ultimately, it all boils down to one insurmountable obstacle -- the show is over! No amount of brow beating, breast beating, or arguing is going to change a damn thing so, again, save your breath, the energy, and the bandwidth.

* And on a related note. Heh. Someone who decided that they hated me years ago because of BtVS kerfuffle, apparently still holds me in contempt as 'one of those horrible people' (and told me so in someone else's LJ). Dude, if you're still obsessing on my being 'teh evil' 3+ years later... that's just sad.

* I had one of those "I hate my clothes" moments this weekend so I went shopping today. Got these pants in charcoal, and these pants in chocolate. A deep royal blue, 3/4 sleeve sweater, and a red striped shirt. (Yeah, I'm kind of boring).

* Finished editing Chapter 5 of "Perfect Vengeance" so when I get it coded, I'll be posting it.
