topazWell, what a ride that was! Thanks to everyone who participated in our roundtable discussion this afternoon.
I don't know about you kids, but the lesson I took away from today was: don't hesitate to use that little "freeze" button in LJ. I nearly hit it on several occasions, but decided to let the thread play out naturally, and WHOA NELLY what a train wreck!
The thing is: there actually are some troublesome issues around the role that Samantha Geimer's mother played in the Polanski assault, and I believe that there's room to have an interesting and productive conversation about that. I may even have that discussion some day.
This, however, wasn't it. It wasn't even supposed to be that, and I sincerely apologize to all of you for letting it run wild the way it did.
