I love that yo had a conversation and politely disagreed and that was that. Here is the thing I have blocked only one person from my blog who was very disrespectful and plain ugly in her comments. I have stopped visiting just three other blogs in all the time I have been blogging, all three stated that #45 is a Mereknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04596140300034854370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972710.post-45612329968166534732019-02-08T23:20:57.637-05:002019-02-08T23:20:57.637-05:00Thank you for your post.

I'll fight all day with Nazis and alt-right trolls on Twitter but angry knitters can be MEAN. I learned the hard way on Ravelry. I love it for patterns but I would not go near their forums for all the money in the world. <br />Araigneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543030200956480168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972710.post-41080672350497963902019-02-07T12:06:22.112-05:002019-02-07T12:06:22.112-05:00Son and I often have the conversation about how no...Son and I often have the conversation about how no one seems to be allowed to disagree anymore without being shouted down (literally or in print) as a Hater.

The governor, the lt. governor, and the state attorney general (who also confessed to having blackface memories) I realize that the next in line is not a democrat, but really - that should not even be a discussion. <br /><br />I was unaware of the Knitters Pride faux pas, but perhaps I AsKatKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176601489544011641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32972710.post-83872571102030909822019-02-07T10:18:06.101-05:002019-02-07T10:18:06.101-05:00I am with you in a lot of ways.

(You could have gotten several posts out of this one.) Because I am not on social media platforms, I'm entirely oblivious to the controversy there, so all I can say about that is just that: I'm completely unaware. Of all of it. That's not to say the aforementioned situations do not occur.<br /><br />The only "Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.com
