Re: The Refuge of the Toads

Svanatee and the other Twitter activists advising violence might want to stop and think that they will be dealing with a lot of conservatives who grew up in a gun culture.

Re: The Refuge of the Toads

And then there is this request to those who want to send in a paper: Full name as you want it to appear in the program * Do NOT include titles, honorifics, or degrees (e.g., Dr., Prof., Ph.D., Rev.).
