It's never a good idea to align oneself so totally with any other human being that they cannot make a mistake without one's coming unglued. The depth of your bitterness indicates to me that you are the one who had been idolizing her, and are now disillusioned.
I have been inspired by her ever since Treason and have been consistently informed and entertained by much of her work. I give her credit where credit is due, and like many, stand in hopes that she will rethink some of her social liberalism. But I do not worship her and never have.
Preach it to yourself. That is exactly what you are doing. Respect others - they are not interested in Ann any more, leave it alone and don't become unglued about it.
or any other permutation of idol worship of which you accuse me
STOP playing victim. It's laughable after what you accused us of and 'assumed' of us!
like many, stand in hopes that she will rethink some of her social liberalism.
Stand in hope all you want, you need a hobby.
