Hand wringing about Jill leaving.

Subjectivity is a condition we cannot avoid. Human interactions cannot be put into a flowchart of "if this, then that" because the question of "if" can never be resolved. What is fragile? What is sunshine and roses? What is respect--how is it displayed, and how is it violated? What is an attack? When does a debate become an argument?

These are rhetorical questions. Whatever answer you have in your head is applicable only to yourself and yourself alone. You can't impose these things. Only by rule of written law can a collective will be imposed.

So the question is: do we want to live in a constrained society, bound by rigid roles deemed "acceptable" by the noisiest complainers, or do we want to grow the fuck up, shut the fuck up, and forget about this crybaby bullshit?
