Taking my marbles and going home
>>the way to combat her or anybody you disagree with is not by taking your marbles and going home, but playing the game to the best of your ability.
I absolutely believe in free speech. Paglia can write whatever she wants, and I say more power to her. But for Salon to give her a significant amount of money (what if she's paid per word!?) when there are many other thoughtful voices out, liberal and conservative, but reasoned and not pulling facts out of their asses--that is their business decision. Which, as I noted, is not based on what the vast majority of people who are paying for subscriptions want, but is what the readers who are not supporting the site want. Which tells me they get more money from advertising revenue anyway, which tells me that they don't value or want my $40.
