Allyson, I'm going to point at what DaisyJane said, especially. You won't get them to change their minds, and (as MFNlaw point out), they don't deserve more of your brilliance.

You know, I hadnt thought once about getting them to change their minds.

I mostly thought about going brain damage on them and making them cry.

I'm sure I could.

But then, you know, I don't do that anymore.

Because while it makes me feel better, it usually makes innocent bystanders feel like crap.

I'm trying to keep my inner troll in check.

This is why I prefer to laugh and point at people who disagree with my clearly correct and well thought out opinions.

I'm up for a rewatch Maria!

It is hard to point and laugh when it is people you might have to deal with on a daily basis. I get that. I get the need to make them cry. It's just... ime, they are so fucking oblivious, they don't know what shame is. And what shame others might heap upon them, they've acquired on their own, though they remain oblivious. But I still want to bash their heads with it.

OK, REALIO TRULIO going to bed now.

I'm trying to keep my inner troll in check.

Ah, okay. They're still not worth your time. Plus I don't know if going brain damage on them will make you feel oodles and oodles better.

When I get like this, Allyson, my wise DH says "There are only so many minutes in a day, why waste them engaging with idiots?" I have a compulsion to correct wrong-headed folks (DH named it my teacher mentality), even though it is useless to them and they are aggravating to me. I have gotten much better about not engaging, but I would like to add that for all his wisdom, he still hasn't stopped becoming absolutely livid at bad drivers.

C'mon over, DJ. I have no scotch, but I have my father's homemade wine!

I've said it before, but this show breaks me, in millions of tiny pieces.

Allyson, we know you could grind them into the ground with your words and make them cry, and that's all that matters. The rest of 'em? Let them act like cavemen. It only reflects on them.

edited for clarification.

Allyson, when the kitten thing was at its height, DeMoriel said, "Will it matter in five years?"

Clearly, the objectification of women will. Ripping new ones for the idiots with whom you're arguing won't.

Plus, you're a famous author now, baby. You've got to protect your reputation.

Cindy, why on earth are you up? Everything OK?

Everything is fine, but I took a way too long nap this afternoon, and threw off my antibiotic schedule, and have a sinus headache/migrainey sort of thing. TV was cheesing me off, so I figured I'd check in, here.
