Anonymous asked: listen, tom, you are stupid to think you can solve or cure bigotry so stop trying to. you wind up unintentionally looking just as unaware and bigoted as the first people with some of your comments. please stop giving these people the time of day, esp when it's just an insult aimed at you. you look hypocritical and moronic and desperate, so please stop.
Here’s the thing: if you come here to my page, you’re stepping metaphorically into my house.
This is my tumblr page, and I’ll answer or address or speak about anything that I choose to. And I’ll answer or won’t answer any questions I want to.
That’s the buy-in, that’s the ground rule.
If you don’t like some of the topics I’m talking about, you are free to give this page a pass. I won’t mind—I won’t even know about it.
I will say this: the surest way not to cure bigotry and other similar social ills is not to talk about them.
