Changing the subject.. Archived Message

Given Burt's excellent post and the need to deal with the increasingly vexed issue of transexual rights you could have simply included your criticism of Rowling in a post that also dealt with the subject of my original post...as I said I'm not happy with a-lot of Rowling's posturing either but it rather detracts to focus on attacks against the individual rather than examining what that individual has said on a particular subject (that happens to be the topic of the post). Not so?
