Speaking for myself, I don't see myself stewing in any juices. I see myself as liberated, most recently from a twit who
felt obligated to re- and re-post an article which was in questionable taste the first time.
I'm not calling him, or the original author, racist. I'm calling him a twit, and that's milder than what he apparently
called me. :)
