    Whatever. If it's worth taking a stand, take it, and the consequences that follow. Folding to the bullying is a sure loser.

          Ax only agreed because it's a great excuse to wear his dildo hat.

            No. We agree from time to time. In this case he's right, as am I. The reaction to this provocative event was entirely predictable. They need to get a spine if they really think it is important, and I think it is.

              Furthermore, it's easy enough to make noise, get some publicity, then retreat and hide behind claims of threatened violence. One can reasonably suspect that that is the organizer's game plan all along. Actually going through with the reading would dispel that suspicion.

                  What, you think an excuse is needed?

                    I'll be damned.

                    That was actually funny. 😁

                      Having an event? Sure. Take the kids out of it. You can’t have a kids book event without children, and exposing them to the mob that day would be unconscionable when the whole point is meant to be about protecting kids.
