No, not Salon. Worse, a blog connected to a conservative Catholic site. They're trying to explain to my poor benighted self how my belief that God sees everyone's value, wants us all to use our gifts, and has in fact been hinting that women's ordination should be accepted except that the male power structure is afraid and resistant to any change proves that they are happy, I am miserable, I hate men, and I believe in a small and petty God and they feel sorry for me.
Tara: That was funny if you've studied Taglarin mystic rites and... are a total dork... Riley: Then how come Xander didn't laugh?
'Selfless'
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
JZ, tell them that an atheist you know thinks they suck.
OK, that probably won't help.
I dunno. I got no advice except don't talk to them. It sounds like they're too close-minded to actually consider your position.

"Conversations end when one man calls another a douchebag, Eric...uh, JZ." Call them a douchebag and walk away.

Nestor Carbonell has freaking amazing lashes. The bastard.

“Not dead yet!”
Nestor Carbonell has unspeakably pretty eyes.
¡Mi gente! He's not only lovely, he's incredibly smart and cultured. He's one of those guys who makes me all melty.

I have my Bat Manuel action figure up on the shelf of cool characters.

Step away. When people are trying to convince you that equality in God's eyes=pettiness, there is no logic to be found.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
JZ, out-nice them. A simple "Yes, of course. Why didn't I see that before? Thanks for pointing it out," and an abrupt departure may not trip their clue-meter, but everyone else reading the discussion will surely get it. Be the bigger person, kill 'em with nice and walk away.

I've just walked away, period. Not sure how long I'll make it stick, but for now I've hit my limit. Fortunately, there are now four of us tag-teaming the bigots: three women being placidly reasonable and scholarly and intent and one guy saying, "Do you people genuinely not realize what assholes you're being?"
In completely other news...hivemind crafting/sewing advice? I have one of those black velvet pirate coats from Newport News that everyone's been lusting after for ages (got it at some ridiculous discount two years ago and have finally started wearing it), and the buttons are irritating me. They're round and bumpy and they catch on things and two of them have already fallen off. I've been trolling eBay for pewter-ish buttons that are flatter and won't catch on everything in sight, but, damn, they're pricey. Where should I be looking?
