hey elizabeth moon

you said something a while ago, that i didn't read (tl;dr) because i have little patience for what's been termed duty fetishism.

it was apparently pretty wrongheaded to start with and in the comments, which you have deleted and then shut down all further commenting on your blog, got flat out racist.

what do you have to say about that?

are you going to apologize? if so, when?

i have some hope that you're sick at heart over hurting people. but it's hard to tell when you're not saying anything.

an apology won't fix things. i don't know if it'd fix anything. but it'd be nice to see.

signed,
betsy,
who until she had a mortgage owned everything you'd ever written and up until oh, early september was recommending one of your books up down and sideways to everyone who'd listen.

(comments from people not on my accesslist screened; everything that's not russian spam unscreened as soon as i'm near a keyboard.)(settings on lj will be set the same as soon as i get over there)

(edited to fix commenting. that's a global, not per entry setting! how aggravating! sorry!)
