18/11/2007 - It's not racism if you're talking about the Welsh.

Apparently, this is me 'naming names' - also known as the person in question knowing exactly who they were.

I was going to actually post some of the conversation in question, to allow people to make their own decisions about who was in the wrong - but a) I'm not quite as childish as some people would like to think and b) I have more compassion for the stuff in there which was genuinely personal and not hysterical racism.

I don't believe, however, in letting people make racist comments about their friends, and at the time I did say this:






Perhaps the saddest thing, is that aside from being angry at her behaviour, I won't mourn the loss of this 'friendship' at all and I doubt it would have been so convincing for Amanda if she hadn't already had doubts about the value and integrity of the friendship herself. After all, I wasn't there, but she was.

Well, I consider it an honour to have great betas like the four people who have recently beta'd my work, personally. I don't like to take my betas for granted.

This was really one of the last straws for me, though - I know you were there at the time and saw how furious I was. I just don't have patience with that.
