I've got no problem with divergence of opinion. Intelligent, well-meaning people disagree about stem cell research. And I'm not at all sure that an elementary school bus is the appropriate forum to discuss that issue. All that are legitimate topics for discussion.

But I will not sit by and watch some random person on the internet impugn the integrity of someone I know. She said, "But that's not really important, is it? Ooohh, you might be interviewed on the NEWS! You might get some attention for yourself!" That crossed the line from legitimate dissent into a personal attack. I will not stand by and let that go by unchallenged.

And "shut the hell up" is about all that that comment deserved.

But she only wanted to educate children! How many children watch the Today Show?
