Agreed. The quackenbush person especially seems to be looking for a fight. :/

Though, I do want to quote one comment that I feel sums up what I think about this whole thing. I think this person has the right idea.

"I'm an Arisia-goer, who would much rather be sewing a costume or making up a filk song than broadcasting cruel and hurtful things about an entire community of people. I think a real test of being a "grown-up" is knowing when to keep your smallminded opinions to yourself. Shame on you."
