Perez, you did a good job. Maggie Gallagher is hard work -- she has no skepticism toward her own opinion which is conversationally tough when you seem to be a consensus builder.
One idea: it's not really just about breaking rules or Carrie Prejean being pleasant and your being rude. Sure, you could have said whatever you did about her in a more polite way, but she was being a bigot. She was being the same as people who made racist comments in the 1950s. She was playing a "separate but equal" card we all now know is false. You could have been compassionate to her ignorance, but you're not the Dalai Lama. You were being discriminated against by what she said. You are allowed to be offended. Stand up for that, rather than make the conversation around rules breaking and pageants. Engage people like Maggie in the real conversation about letting people live their lives. You're doing good work, most of the time. (And it's the fact your website is also about celebrity gossip that allows you to get the civil liberties stuff out there to a wider audience.) Carry on.
By the way, can the annoying pop-up ads from a couple of days ago.
real brad's noggin is more triangular than oval overall.
when they attached this hair in photoshop, they needed to make it wider.
SAT words not required; grammar a plus.
