Who are people like me?
How well are you claiming to know who I am?

I don’t know, but the recent use of Fluther questions as bludgeons for prejudice is really disturbing.

@Marina…I am not trying to take away from the Great Answer you just gave but “bludgeons for prejudice” would be an excellent name for a metal album.
