Thread Name: BS: Teenager stoned: A Story, which beggars belief
Subject: RE: BS: A Story That Beggars Belief
I have no agenda other than to speak out against hate. If some people have a problem with that agenda, I would say that says far more about them than it does about me.

My feelings about what happened to the girl in question in this thread are my business, and I don't share the need that some people apparently have of making a big public show about them. Some people seem to think that the only way to have feelings is to make a big exhibition of them.

But when I see people using human rights issues as an excuse to promote hate, I consider that them moment when it is my responsibility to say something about it publicly.
