the time I made an offhand remark about a pop mega star (no, not Taylor whom I like).

Or the couple of posts on 1- an SNL cold open in real time on the grounds that the Time Zone was ruined for them, and 2- a world cup pregame. I got BLASTED and EXCORIATED about how incredibly rude and thoughtless I was for spoilers, am talking about a string of personal attacks from one person. Never mind that everything was on websites everywhere, because this place and I were the *only* most impermissible ones *ever* !1

But have bitten my tongue ever since when there are scads of posts on SNL cold opens these days.
