Lichen award: To Brown feminine power, her kindness, and her genteel spirit.

If only because you have never wasted a minute of your life on Eve Ensler, and violence created by women who see themselves first as a vagina, and only later as a woman, through no fault of the troll, or any other, and mostly, for having better things to think and write about, but mostly for your kind and simple response:

RE: "the troll–please go bait somebody else. I’ve never seen the vagina monologues, and I don’t think I’ve ever even covered them on this site."
Troll discovers that you are indeed very keeewwwwl, and troll nods in affirmation of your wisdom.

"you’re barking at the wrong feminist my sweet."

This is the most gentle, kind, and decent response the troll has gotten, EVER from any blogger, EVER.Ever. Troll is very serious now, and my cuneiform radiant corneas are no longer hooded from the darkness: my nictitating membrane has lifted at the light you provide in the form of your kindness! I want to send you Trolls metaphorical light hearted and lively "moss and lovely round dark and shiny-shiny found rock with just a bit of lichen for padding to set at your blogstep!

Sudy: It is not intended as bait dear, it is a sad fact within the writers rhetoric circles that this sort of horrible obsessional confessional stuff( re: the post above and its similarities to V.M.), is seen as risque', rather than ones feelings about the indigenous other within themselves and an even sadder fact that those diatribes have been given the press they have, and I urge you to NOT see the Vagina Monologues indeed. It is also something that has bothered troll as well, these useless voyeuristic dialogues, in lieu of deeper more penetrating looks at ourselves and others.

BFP:You are a savvy and soulful blogger, too full of wisdom to squander one wise minute on that cr^pulum;-)
And so--I send the lovin onto your blog;-)
With clear cadence, and hoped for clarity, I wish you many happy returns--but retool the workshop professor, or activate within the circle of writers that are there with you to out his foolishness--he sounds like a real troll;-)
