Yeah, those letters don't go together under the oversimplified heading of "dissent." I'm not sure why he's trying to wrap them all up that way.
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I mean, I'm CLEARLY not excusing what he did. CLEARLY.

Maybe he's in a place that where he's a hammer and everything looks like a nail.

Happy Birthday, Chikat!
Stephanie, are you still interested in the TJs exchange?

Trust my rage
Perkins, I've been meaning to email you. Yes, but meara already gifted me with awesome TJs stuff AND I'm going to be in Albuquerque next week, where they have a TJs. So I think at the moment, I can be a sender instead of a sendee.
eta: and I'm sorry to all grammar types for using "gift" as a verb. It just sort of slipped out.

But we need more senders and less sendees.
Can I overrule you on that?

Trust my rage
I'll will be very happy to participate in any capacity. (you mean, I'm receiving instead of sending, right?) Especially if the result is TJs yumminess. And then if I don't make it to TJs over the weekend (it's like 1.5 hours from my parents), I won't be crushed.

Clearly not, Allyson. Sullivan's not always the most careful reader.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
None of those letters are excusing what he did. At most, they're trying to explain why it happened, which is a long way from excusing it.
I might argue that McQueary is a few points higher on the depraved depraved scale, because at least he didn't lie to a grand jury.
(Okay, it's a typo, but now I'm kind of fond of the depraved depraved scale.)
