IMHO, sliming is ... well, sliming.
Not unlike what's being done to fellow freepers on this thread.
I don't want to rehash it, but EllaMinnow has a valid perspective and others who don't know the story really aren't in a position to make (false) equivalencies.
Would you like for me to make a list of the things I've been called this very day on the Terri threads?
My lord, FR has gone insane.
I went through at least 6 months of freepmailed porn and death threats from the westerfield groupies, and I didn't run to the mods and tattletale.
If using someone's own words - that are posted online for anyone in the world to read - is sliming them, then I'm sliming.
