• This is a powerful read. I can now better imagine the suffocating terror of having the Internet coming after you with the sole intent of total destruction. Thousands of people kicking down when you’re at your most exposed and vulnerable. Who among us doesn’t need understanding, some grace and forgiveness, and some path to reconciliation? People. sigh

      It has always filled me with a kind of dread & nausea when I hear of the internet mob savaging a person, no matter my view of whatever has people riled up into full attack mode.

      Determined to follow Bubba’s example of having great love & forgiveness for everyone, even as am a sobbing, mess at this story and yet again devastated at the knowledge of all the dangerous vitriol out in the world. I wish so much that persecutors could glimpse a moment of what it is to love & be relieved of their hatreds.
