without even bothering to figure out who bell hooks is. She deserves far better.

I don't have any issue with Beyoncé. Why would I slam her? I have never even mentioned her except to say that unlike Miley Cyrus she has talent. Perhaps you could stop assuming you know what I think about an issue before asking me?

(Also, just an FYI: My writing method is such that I always go back and re-edit after I hit post. I understand it's not the most desirable method for a message board, but it's how I write in general so do it here as well. Therefore if you read the post right away you won't see it in its finished form. That is to say I added additional text to the last post (and others) you likely missed, and you may find them relevant to the discussion. )
