No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

ND, did you see upthread that I dreamed about you (and PixKristin, and Stephen Hawking) last night? You were, sadly, not wearing your kilt (just in normal jeans).

Of all the things PZ blogs about on a daily basis, this is what gets the death threats?
Well, he also asked people to send him some some communion wafers so he could desecrate them, so I don't think it was just mentioning snackfoods that upset people. But, yeah. The whole thing started with the guy in FL who was holding the body of Christ hostage in its cracker form so the whole topic was preloaded with crazy.

Agreed that kidnapping the communion wafer, body of Christ or not (ie, trans or con- substationation believer!) is really very offensive and tacky. Not on, people. But death threats? Dumb.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
The whole thing started with the guy in FL...
Sadly, that begins so many discussions that lead to generally craziness. I need to get out of this state.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Don't take this the wrong way if it applies to you, but does anyone agree with me that events people are kind of crazy during/around the actual event?
I completely resemble this remark. I try not to let the crazy bleed through to the attendees, but my coworkers often get the brunt of it. (To be fair, if they would stop trying to squeeze people in at the last minute, I would be less crazy.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I really want to be offended and pissed off at PZ Myers for his total obnoxiousness on the whole stupid matter, but Bill Donohue has rendered that completely impossible. Death threats trump obnoxiousness, by many many orders of magnitude (and, really, death threats followed by projecting your own death threats back on yourself and poor-me-I'm-the-real-victim-here-ing? Tacky and unpleasant to the power of infinity).
Thanks to Bill Donohue's insane fuckwaddery, I now have "write an email to the head of Myers' department enthusiastically supporting his right to be obnoxious and offensive" on my to-do list for the week.

"Even as a lapsed and mostly unbelieving Catholic, I think you're a total jackass. Sadly, I think Bill Donahue is a bigger one. Damn."
That would be my letter. Sigh.
