| The wild Hunt |
Are there any other people that the membership feels should be silenced, suppressed, censored, abridged, blacklisted, excised, restricted, McCarthyized, deleted, disavowed, marginalized, decontaminated, purged, squelched, sterilized, reviled, or ostracized? Your feedback is encouraged.
(And does anyone else have a chill down their backs from this Orwellian thought police trend?)
I came across this in a respectable (Resurgence) forum, someone had got cross about one of the writers, and the above was the reply and it came home sharply how we judge and criticise others with a vindictive use of words that are scary, gone are the days when we allowed 'not guilty until proven guilty.' It is like letting the Wild Hunt take possession of our judgment. Well taking on the other half of the human race, the male was a big subject;), it is like a big wave crashing on the shore of civilised human behaviour, "how do you feel love?" did it happen to you? Well I'm not going there, there have been plenty of female writers who have explored the subject in the Guardian and Times newspapers. For me it is just one of the steps to an equal relationship with men, women have quietly done their own thing. I was surprised by how many women painted through the centuries, also look at the female writers casting delicious aspersions on the society around them, and Murmurrs made me laugh this morning, as she always does.
Too much navel gazing leads to a dull life and dull writing, there are terrible things happening in the world, Rohingya is still happening, the Hague has just sentenced Ratko Mladvic for unspeakable crimes twenty years ago.

and there is an article in The Times this morning about terrible conditions in Iranian jails. It never goes away does it.
