It's pretty disgusting -- on SO MANY LEVELS -- that she wishes to render "mundane" an atrocity. That she would condemn as "mythologizing" the appropriate level of respect and compassion given those affected by an atrocity. As if "mythologizing" simply means "glorifying" or is somehow always positive, or somehow false.

I don't think I can read Bear's books. Ever. Because this is not the first time she's been directly called out about this; because she's been called out about other things, and it doesn't seem to phase her. At this point, her behavior as an author gets in the way of her work, for me. And she does not appear to be willing to learn from these discussions, or willing/able to be compassionate about the pain of other human beings. WTF, seriously.

She's a real piece of work -- on the level of Mike Resnick.

The boss of it all and the final word about everything and anything.

Of course words and the meaning of words matter nothing to a writer. Who knew? Not me. Been doin' rong all this time ....

Love, c.

For some reason on this New Thing dw thought I wasn't logged in, but I was. ??????? Computers.

It's Bear. She shows her ass so often she's traded all of her pants for chaps just for convenience.

I'm pretty sure, though, that I've used that word metaphorically, and so some good has come of this, that I'll be more thoughtful about that. (Especially since some of my relatives were a part of the Trail of Tears, ffs.)
