I agree with you. I've seen some "bored with this" comments and I don't understand. I'm on an email listserv for a teaching group and this woman made a homophobic joke to the list. I was the only person who called her out. No one else said anything and no one responded to me directly. I felt so alone and, honestly, as if I couldn't trust anyone on the list. When people on my flist/d-circle post on an issue of importance that I care about it makes me feel as if I'm in the right community. Plus, I like to see the range of views and experiences - I always learn something.
