Ignorance as bliss?

Quote of the day:

Assumption, my dear Mitz, is the mother of all fxxck-ups. The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert

Yesterday there were a few links to Mining Nuggets. Always good for the stats and fun to watch as the graph rises steeply for a day in the life.

Two of the links mentioned me in ways that moved the cockles of my heart to be genuinely warmed and nourished. I felt gratitude to Ronni and Frank. No. Much more than that. I was deeply honored.

Well, and then there was a third link, an attack on my personal opinion. This is all … er … well and good. Isn’t that what a healthy democracy is all about? different personal opinions? Oh yes, and name-calling? You know, something about my being a "wing-nut" or something.

But then came the bigoted ignorance part: assumptions based on one sentence in my about page that mentions my life partner. Tsk, Tsk. Too bad. Too bad. Pity that there’s so much ignorance out there.

So many bent inferences, so little time.
