It's a more lengthy version of the response to another person's response to my own post on the same topic.

Before you read it - go here:

(It is an unbiased biographical essay on Pagila.)

You're very welcome. I think you'll like her essays.

Pagila is a bit of an ideologue herself. She's like a lot of celebrity pundits, more interested in personalities or celebrities. I stopped taking anything she said or wrote seriously ages ago.

More often than not, Pagila just pisses me off.
Not what she says so much as "how" she says it.
She's so smug and self-righteous and has a tendency to treat those who disagree with her like they are nitwits. Granted to a degree, I do the same thing at times. Which may explain why it annoys me in someone else. I'm not particularly fond of this trait in myself. And fear that it occassionally comes across in my own writing, which is another reason why I delete alot. (VERY SELF-CRITICAL).
