&quot;Later her meddlesome mother...&quot; 
Okay - - I get it that institutions no longer function in loco parentis. 
But now you&#039;re telling me that even parents aren&#039;t supposed to act as parents? 
What?!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh, Dan, you seemed to calm down for a while. Your comments were brief and coherent. Now you&#039;re back to sounding like your typical hostile, paranoid self, launching long incoherent attacks at anyone who disagrees with you as if anyone reads them. (Hint: probably no one bothered to read after you confused &quot;teabagger&quot; with some sort of anti-gay slur, because you sounded like a crazy person.) 

Dan, seek that intervention like I suggested a few weeks ago. Don&#039;t take our word for it. Really. Don&#039;t you have any family or friends? Show them all the crazy stuff you write, and the paranoid rants you go off on. Maybe they can help. There is probably medication for it, but the best solution would be for you to go Internet free for a while. That&#039;s the solution I&#039;m recommending if any of your loved ones read this and finally show some concern. 

You probably don&#039;t realize that some of the commenters here bait you just to watch you sound off like a madman. Don&#039;t give them the satisfaction, Dan. Seek help. You&#039;ll be better off for it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mr. Kleinman, speaking as a public librarian who supports the use of filtering on public computers, enforces standards of behavior within library facilities, considers community standards an important aspect of collection development, encourages active public participation in the governance of my organization, and couldn&#039;t care less about the ALA&#039;s official position on any given issue, let me be perfectly blunt:

		<description><![CDATA[@me, apparently you have not read the very post you ridicule.  For example, in the one where I discuss how the library censored the Christians according to a court case, I also pointed out that the ALA had the correct policy and would not have condoned the library&#039;s actions.

Specifically, I said, &quot;Even the American Library Association [ALA] is on the right side on this issue: &#039;Library Gets Religion; ALA Right Again,&#039; by Dan Kleinman, SafeLibraries, 23 June 2009.  But I believe ALA has more work to do to get out the message so more libraries will not lose more money in religious discrimination cases.&quot;

But this is you: &quot;I was specifically referencing your post that librarian’s are somehow trying to censor Christianity which is simply a load of crap. You are simply towing the tea party line with this nonsense.&quot;

Apparently, besides your gay hate, you also have truth hate.  But hey, you didn&#039;t call me crazy for once.  Oh look, I supported ALA and its policy regarding nondiscrimination and meeting rooms.  Crazy!

@Me, identify yourself if you want a shred of credibility.  And have you helped any librarian under duress such as in the situations I described above?  Even one?  Can you even name one?

I&#039;m going out soon, so I won&#039;t be able to respond to your false vitriol any further.  But I&#039;ll continue to support librarians and communities who are being misled and harmed by people just like you.  And if anyone would like help, please contact me.]]></description>

You don&#039;t know the meaning of the term, really? Also, you must not know a real person from the LGBTQ community. If you referenced them as a &quot;homosexual&quot; they&#039;d probably deck you. (http://www.glaad.org/reference/offensive - for your future reference).
