...yeah. I hadn't read the F_W threads, because F_W makes my head explode, so. But the whole thing brings to mind the miscegenation issue in HP a few months back, where the way someone said something is taken as an excuse for (a) dismissing their entire issue and (b) treating them shamefully.

I didn't and don't agree with how Deb presented her issue, but that doesn't mean the issue itself is invalid. (And some of the revolting responses seem to me to indicate that, Yuletide aside, anti-Semitism in fandom is alive and well.)
