Day Off

So I didn't write a post yesterday.

I was going to (honest!), but I made the mistake of hitting up Facebook first. I then found myself in an epic battle to prove how wrong someone was on the internets. It was bad. Real bad. Sumdood decided that, while ZOMFG TEH HITLERZ!!!1!! was just "mental and wanted to kill people," Roosevelt was actively engaged in genocide. He went on to deny the Holocaust.

I went on to blow a fuse. I know I shouldn't have; there are morons out there who feel it is their duty to bring out The Truth. I'm supposed to be old enough and wise enough not to engage these idiots. But then I think of both of my Grandfathers. I think of who and what they were fighting, and I think of why. To say that they were actively partaking in a ruthless genocide sparks feelings in me that make me have to constantly delete sentences from a post because they could be viewed in a court of law as a threat. I'd be sunk, too, because frankly, if dickhead had said any of that shit to my face, I would have removed his.

I was polite and educated in my responses, save for telling him that I sincerely hope he freezes in the dark (h/t Tam). I wish I had read this first. (also h/t Tam.)May have kept my blood pressure down.

Anyway, I walked away from my computer after a couple rounds and started a Mage for a new DragonAge: Origins campaign. The Darkspawn Horde isn't gonna annihilate itself, you know...
