Sigh, I wonder if there\'s a trope for CreatorAbuse, I signed up on TBOVerse and ended up trash talked by Mr Slade roughly just for having left-center liberal views.
Either I\'ve been slapped by a very convincing website wide conspiracy theory of yanking my chain or Mr Slade has views more right wing then Orson Scott Card, I am not making this up. I\'m tempted to adjust rescued from the scrappy heap by adding context is that this is how the author naturally sees George W Bush and not an effort of fixing his image for the sake of storytelling.
But, I\'m still a fan, the writing is superb though I think some of the criticism I got was a little harsh.

\\\'\\\'Well the britney example is flawed because it is something that social services and not the media shpuld be looking into.\\\'\\\' Ah, but \\\"it was ENTERTAINING\\\" to some people, so therefore it\\\'s perfectly alright, isn\\\'t it? I thought that was the bottom line. It clearly did some good: created jobs for people taking pictures, filled up magazines, and no doubt sold plenty of ads on the TV and internet. \\\'\\\'And\\\'\\\' some people found it funny. By your own logic, Britney Spears is really a noble hero for giving so much to the world by getting knocked up by Kevin Federline and drunkenly endangering her children! She\\\'s an entertainer, so \\\'\\\'it\\\'s all okay!\\\'\\\'
I\\\'m \\\'\\\'limiting peoples\\\' freedom\\\'\\\'? Seriously? You\\\'re blowing my actions ridiculously out of proportion in order to demonize me, you know. You\\\'re just looking foolish at this point. And besides, as I\\\'ve pointed out before, I added something in the FanDumb section that states that some people found it funny. They\\\'re being acknowledged already.
And once more, I must explain \\\"free\\\" doesn\\\'t mean \\\"any jackass does whatever he wants.\\\" That\\\'s more like anarchy (not the political sense of the world, albeit), or perhaps lawlessness. There \\\'\\\'are\\\'\\\' things like courtesy and decency to consider, both things that Kanye clearly did not, and which you seem fit to throw under the bus if it\\\'s \\\"ENTERTAINING.\\\" TheJoker would approve.
\\\"It was ENTERTAINING\\\" doesn\\\'t mean it was at all right, or that it should have happened. It is not an excuse for being an asshole and humiliating someone who clearly did not deserve it. RuleOfFunny applies to fiction rather than real life, and doesn\\\'t apply in this case. Once again (man, do I repeat myself a lot to you or what? How many times till it gets through?): \\\'\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\'If you leave someone crying and humiliated on national TV in front of all their friends, family, and fans, you have done a bad thing and should not have done it in the first place\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\'.
Really, why is that so difficult to understand? I\\\'m saying it in the simplest terms I can. You yourself said he apologized, which means \\\'\\\'Kanye\\\'\\\' realized that he shouldn\\\'t have done that. That\\\'s what \\\"I\\\'m sorry\\\" \\\'\\\'means\\\'\\\'. He\\\'s acknowledged that it was the wrong thing to do, why can\\\'t you?
