It's a Mr. Grim, he's come about the reaping.
Let it be said that 1) I have kept up with this story from the beginning and 2) this has been the same thing over and over (and I sure would be interested in Jezebel possibly addressing the legal aspect of this case instead of stoking emotions, but I guess you do what gets you page views), and it doesn't keep being the same story.
This has got to be viewed with the impartial eyes of the law, and there's no law against being mean. No matter how mean.

What she did was horrible, and she's a horrible person and it's so desperately, awfully sad, but goddamn if y'all don't need to take a step back and think of the implications of your own civil rights if we just start prosecuting people with trumped up charges just because someone did something mean.

She began telling me what they were about and how the chick lead is a simpering needy whiner and I heard my 13-year-old nephew start yelling at her in the background how she was "misrepresenting" the books and that it wasn't fair for her to tell me about them, because I needed to read them myself to form an opinion. He sounded like he was being personally insulted by her critiques.
This movie is gonna be huge.
