rolanni | In Which Rolanni's Opinions are Offensive to Others

So, a minor kerfuffle on Twitter last night, in which I was asked to stop talking politics, or at least to have the common decency to create another Twitter account in which I only spoke about politics, thereby saving the feelings of people who disagree with my politics and safeguarding my livelihood.

Ahem.

There are so very many things wrong with this, but it did make me realize that perhaps a list might be in order.

I therefore offer the list of where Sharon Lee hangs out on the internets, with commentary, so that you may choose the size that fits you.

This blog, which is mirrored at Eagles Over the Kennebec -- Combo blog, personal and professional. Minimal, if any, political commentary. You will, however, have to put up with cat pictures. Some folks have complained about having to put up with cat pictures, so I feel this should be mentioned.

Twitter -- Combo stream; pointers to Liaden Universe® news, this blog, and political commentary. Some days more commentary, some days less.

Facebook -- Combo; lots of political, historical, real-life discussion interspersed with professional news and discussion of writing/the writing life. Wide-ranging in a word, and occasionally freewheeling.

If you are a person who only wants writing and publication news from the Liaden Universe®, without any messy personal stuff, or politics, here are your options:

Welcome to Liad: Clan Korval's home on the web. Publishing news, sneak peeks of covers, announcements of contests, Lee and Miller appearances. That's it.

You may sign up for the Liaden Universe® InfoDump. This emailed newsletter goes out very infrequently and includes only news, such as where to pre-order signed books, convention appearances, news of eArcs, publications, sales. Here's your link to sign up.

If you wish to discuss the Liaden Universe® with other enthusiasts, there are several Facebook groups available to you:

Oh, and hey! Have a cat picture:

The joy of reading festooned by cats. Everybody keeps everybody warm. Hooman reads, kitties nap, everybody happy. 360 win.

The idea that writers should be free of any political opinions (or at least, any political opinions that Might Offend Someone Somewhere) makes me wonder...

well, no, I don't wonder at all. I know exactly how they think, and how they read. And it's sad.

The nerve of some people. I follow your twitter account knowing I may not always agree with you but I'd rather read what you (or others with a differing opinion) have to say because I may not always be right. I wish more people would go into things with that attitude the U.S. would be better off.

How do you keep politics out of your daily life?

I belong to a group who has a forum titled general discussion where just about anything goes.
No "hate" speech of any type is the exception to that rule.

JMHO, if you don't want to hear someone's personal opinion about politics, don't read the comments about politics.

I abhor censorship, even implied censorship.

I don't read your twitter accounts, nor do I read the facebook posts, just because I am too lazy to learn.

keep being offensive, its our right as Americans....

plus we have such stellar examples right now of Twitter... snort..

I wish to ask those readers exactly who is holding the gun to their heads and forcing them to read your tweets.

/facepalm

I expect you to have your own political opinions. More they are your places to hang out.

Oh and I don't care what opinion you are expressing. I'm not expecting to agree with most people most of the time. Shrug

At least your political opinions [unlike far too many] will be well-reasoned, well-written, and correctly spelled.
