I joined the Facebook page<\/a> for the folks trying to boycott the Lost Abbey Brewery<\/a>. (Yes, boycott; as if any of these people were in the habit of buying this company\u2019s products to begin with). One poster named \u201cCoven Avalon\u201d posted several times that the Lost Abbey blog had been \u201cpagan bashing big time; called us ignorant!\u201d I posted to say that this was not true, that the word \u201cignorant\u201d had only been used to refer to the remarks in emails sent TO the Lost Abbey Brewery. I also wrote that this poster should get their facts straight before trying to incite people to engage in an angry campaign of email to the company. At no point was I rude or derogatory (despite receiving fairly condescending treatment from the creators of the page). After a bit of back and forth where I attempted to clarify my position when it was being misinterpreted, my remarks were deleted from the Facebook page and my membership in the page removed. NICE. Ironic, too\u2026given the insistence of so many of these people that they feel a desperate need to \u201chave their say.\u201d Hmm.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
