[Culturechat] Burned bridges

[Marlene Rodgers]

I do not see Vivianne as being mad all the time, I see her as serious 
about serious issues during serious times (Seriously!.)   I suppose it 
is easy enough to couch one's position in some humor so as not to be 
accused of being shrill, particularly if one is Liberal and female but 
it does take extra effort (knack, talent, propensity?) when she may 
just want to make a point, even if the point is far more serious than 
entertaining.
My first reaction Vance, on your comment that you found it nice to see 
Vivianne not mad all the time was oh, that is a bit patronizing. I know 
that is how I would feel to have that said to me.
