[BDSM-LegalIssues] Re: New book -- good but disturbing

Wow. I can only say, wow. I asked a question that is directly related
to the NCSF, to the position she holds there, and you are saying that
it's unfair? And given the supposed NCSF mission, you even defend
discriminating specifically against the San Diego Six (which she so
far has evaded answering)? Wow.

Even if she did work for a religious organization (which, by the way,
she didn't say - she said her company was owned by people of a
religious minority), she earlier claimed that her work life had
nothing to do with the NCSF. You can't have it both ways!

My question stands.
