    The critics here don't read Pandagon

    As a longtime reader of Pandagon, it's very obvious that the strongest critics on this letter thread have never read the blog. People here are flinging around a lot of nasty assumptions and generalizations, most likely based on the spin they've read on other blogs or gathered from Donahue's PR campaign.

    There is nothing hateful or vile or particularly vulgar about Pandagon. It's typically very humorous and insightful. It does poke fun at the powerful and the bigoted, which is one of the reasons I keep going back!

    Finally, as someone who has disagreed with Amanda on her blog in the past, I say from experience that she has not banned me nor has she treated me with disrespect. The ogre people are trying to create here just doesn't exist.
