Oh dear

I seemed to have stepped in it with folk earlier today on several levels. I sorta joked it off, but it's bugging me, which means I'm still being an asshole and I know it. So, I do apologize for anyone's hurt feelings. Nothing was meant as a personal attack, but where it came off as such, again, I apologize. I shall work better at not letting my generalizations get away from me to the point of being insulting.

In future, perhaps, I should wait until I'm less pissed off by things I'm writing about to, you know, write about them.

*shrugs* Generalizations are almost always problematic. If you'd even added just "religious whackjob" to your Southerner generalization, I'd agree. The religious whackjobs in the South are of a particularly vile brand. But, ya know, what else can I expect from a Yankee? ;p

By the way, did you know that The Time Traveler's Wife is missing pages 291-322? It's like that section was left out when it was published or something....

True about that. Nutjob should have been appended to everything I wrote pretty much yesterday. Us Yankees, as you put it, have a little stored-up hostility towards the more conservative belts which makes that unstated "PSYCHOS!" usually understood when speaking, not so much in writing.

The copy of The Time Traveler's Wife I got was from an estate sale. I didn't actually read that version myself. Oh well, I guess you can keep that one :)

I guess I have to go hang out at B&N this afternoon and read the missing 31 pages. :p

Yikes, that's a large span. Sorry dude!
