2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Anatomy of a Smear: David Brock Edition [View all]Shandris
(3,447 posts)17. Oh wow that's crazy, one thing I wanted to try was PR but circumstances said otherwise!
I actually wanted to be a negotiator (not police, think like at the UN or something) at one time, even. Always thought I'd enjoy one of those high-stress jobs. As it turns out, I probably made a better decision not doing so.
Sadly I'm no longer in the daily labor force, although I hope to return one day soon. I seem to be on the mend despite expectations to the contrary, and I don't like to be held down! In the meantime, I'm learning a new language to expand both my understanding of language and the world, and my career prospects (again, assuming I can return someday).

The way David Brock went after Anita Hill was shameful. He's tried to atone for that

Well, I don't support the sexual harassment involved with GamerGaters, I see your point.

Wow, Lewis' stock just took a broken-elevator-dive to the basement with me.
