Appreciate the reply. The above person is showing as a 'blocked post' but from what I remember they were doing the internet angry thing and jumping right to 'you're a racist' to the person above. So hopefully folks can at least follow the thread. Didn't know that about GFM, so thanks.

Last time I was in a Barnes and Noble there was a section stacked high with plastic sticks manufactured from the mind of a raging sexist transphobe priced at like 40 or 60 a pop.

Empathy has to go in both directions, otherwise this is just an invitation to be exploited.
