sometimes people try to crowd surf to the front of the line by way of public support on a platform that knows no moderate and rational viewpoints. regardless of what is said, if you go left of said comment you will always ratio the hell out of whatever you quoted. up and into wishing death and destruction upon the infidels. it doesn't matter if your cause is righteous, it can quickly cross into self-righteous when you have the crowd as assembled by a former beat writer lusting for blood. this forced compliance issue is obscene and I have always, always been a supporter of people's rights and choices to live their truth. what you don't get to do is drag people across the political or even human decency line kicking and screaming because you like to watch hockey and not be conflicted that you may inadvertently be cheering for a republican. having a degree in social work isn't even enough of a credential to get you an audience with my kids when I was teaching, and you're going to approach a billion dollar business as the f***ing mascot (the f***ing mascot) and start talking to people the way she did? if she had any position of note, she would have been fired. they probably didn't want to fire her because they knew that looney toons would probably file a lawsuit or something insane about this "toxic workplace culture," based entirely upon her speculation of what is going on behind the scenes and nothing else.
people need to start telling nutjobs to shut up when they're being nutjobs, even if they happen to share some of the same convictions. not "yas queen!!" their views into legitimacy. do them that kindness before they further embarrass themselves or get in front of a court of law and get sliced into pieces so tiny they have to get swept into a dustbin. the level of entitlement to be given access to an entire hockey team to tell them how wrong they are about something and how indoctrinated they are as if it were a basic human right is nauseating. please stormy, help us make sense of all this.
