Can we talk?

(note to anyone who thinks that I believe everything I say:
)

That's the whole point. You do this just to get attention. You pick a topic that purposely slams people because you want to cause trouble.

Well, it's NOT funny. It's NOT fun.

And, I don't care who anybody is, I call it like I see it.

That was Wireman's point last night when he said he thought this kind of stuff screws up an arts community.

He's right.

To debate REAL issues is one thing but to post bogus attacks on an entire group of people is just .... well..... adolescent and sad.

Do you really require THAT much attention that you have to create a bogus argument just to ruffle feathers and take center stage?

Knock it off, already.

It's a stupid waste of time and energy.

what you call 'causing trouble'
I call 'causing conversation'

and how does starting a discussion about gender and creativity call attention to me?

[Arcadia]

yes!
