Derailing for Dummies

[serene]

Haven't read the whole thing, but someotherguy sent me this: Derailing for Dummies. So far, it's right on the nose.

thanks for the link; it provided me with a good learning experience.

and i immediately had a special white snowflake whine in my LJ about how obviously white people are just asked to shut up, whether or not they're correct about something, and then she went on and on and on about how she was just not going to participate, so there. it was like she was trying to get the full card.

i am starting to get really impatient with certain sections of my SFF reading list. they're behaving like orlando in alt.poly; a truly astonishing sense of entitlement that their 2 cents must be heard at all times. i know i have hit several spots on that bingo card myself, but i sure hope i was never quite this obnoxious.

Oh, eww. (Love love love the bingo card, by the way.)

Every time I see a link to this (which pokershaman first showed me around March or so), I have to remind myself that it's a good thing I'm not one of those people who takes their work responsibilities home with them ...

Seriously, it's an excellent link. And someday it will be taken down. But not by me.

Oh, heh. I didn't even think about that aspect.

Thank you for this. I read this shortly before I stumbled into the becoming-epic conversation about rape and "good guys" elsewhere.... and was able to laugh instead of cry as I watched it all happen, right on track.
