Who is "we?" When you claim to represent a plurality it implies that the other is a "lone" voice and therefore diminishes it. No need for further attempts to cool me out; when someone is teetering on the brink of identifying an entire class of people as "stupid"--and worse, doesn't realize they are offensive--people will certainly be angry and must speak up. Now, that's fair.
I appreciate Aaron and Julia for doing what I can not do for the sake of my sanity and blood pressure... watch Fox News. But it is very important to monitor the opposition.
Really regret that Jeske came about as close as she could to calling old people stupid. Hey, we’re people, too. Didn’t you say all people deserve respect?
I know what you are referring to... only old people watch a Fox News show at 5pm, but I chose to view the comment as harmless and unintended. Not the same as saying all old people are 5pm Fox News watchers. We old folks need to have thick skin.
but certainly no thicker than anyone else. and Jeske's comment, which was not disavowed, may have been unintentional but that's more harmful than harmless.

OK, Mary. We understand you feel discriminated against. That’s fair.
