Here: Aeltri answered an anon that read “I Sophie one of (((them)))?” Placing a name or a word like ‘them’ in multiple parentheses is an anti-Semitic tactic, it’s essentially treating that Jewish person’s name/pronouns like it’s a slur or garbage. Also, Aeltri’s post about Scientology and British schooling is homophobic. Aeltri’s anti-Semitic, homophobic, transphobic, etc. And by letting her get away w/it, you’re saying you don’t care. Maybe bc you’re also anti-Semitic, homophobic, transphobic?

Ummmm. SCIENTOLOGY is homophobic. And the comments I’ve seen her make about British public schools wasn’t homophobic. Those schools are rife with predatory behavior of all sorts. I can’t comment on that particular parentheses post because I didn’t see it. And let me be as fucking clear as possible here: MY POSTS REFLECT MY BELIEFS AND STANCES. I am not Aeltri’s keeper. I do not have to defend what she or anyone else posts. I am not responsible for what ANYONE other than MYSELF posts. And I don’t have to agree with everything someone else thinks to talk to them. I believe that the best way to affect change is by talking to anyone who is open to discussion, especially if they have different views than me. Aeltri is open to the discussion. You don’t have to like it. You can feel free to block both her blog and mine. But my philosophy has served me well over the decades, growing up and living in the South….where I was often in the minority about a lot of social issues. (You’d be surprised how many people I swayed by simply and respectfully discussing why I disagreed instead of taking your stance.). So don’t expect me to change things just because you demand it. Have a good day.

Nice try but no cigar troll, you know damn well what I meant by ((())), it’s not ‘Jewish’. Not exclusively ;)…
