Those of you who have critisized Libby's fic as "being too preachy" 
have missed the point.

It WASN'T supposed to be something that shows how a bigot could feel 
about his bigotry.  It was supposed to be about the VICTIM.  The 
person punished for being what they are and... well... that usually 
makes you preachy, weather they mean to be or not.

It was also something written in a few hours, again, because of my 
big mouth, to help Libby deal with some personal problems raised (I 
hope you're feeling better and I appologize again).

There's an inherent problem with writing something personal then opening 
it up to hundreds of objective casual observers.  No one can read the 
author's mind or emotional state.  All we can do is offer comments, 
suggestions, and *opinions* on how the writing can be improved, what was 
good, what stood out, etc...  Just like any other fic that's posted to 
the list.
