Derailing for Dummies

Ah, this internet thing. It keeps showing up with thing people have already researched and written so I don't have to.

Sometimes that site can be painful for me to read because I see arguments that I recognize . . . because I used them at one point. (I like to think I've grown up a bit since then.)

Yeah, me too.

I've learned all about unpacking assumptions this week. I never intended to be an apologist for asshats, devalue my own worth, abuse privilege, or make disingenuous arguments. On the other hand, I've been waiting for the spontaneous genesis of a standard of etiquette. (and I'm still trying to wean mom off all caps:-) I'm delighted to be informed. And now I've found the people who actually are talking about how to do instead of just having the same arguments all the time.
