Why not just post what you want, read the posts that have to do with

That's what I do.


I wish I dared, but I don't. That's what I was doing a while ago, and
people took my posts as a politics seed every time, making me feel guilty
for starting it.

Just say no to guilt. I accept guilt for one, and only one, thing: things I did that deliberately started something. If it's an accident, or someone else did it, I don't accept guilt.


I've been playing with a short over at Baen. The protag thinks of the female lead as "babelicious." One of the regulars just cannot read that story without hitting that word like a wall. I'm uncertain whether to do anything, since the term does such a good job of summing up a host of societal things.
