Madame Defarge probably isn't welcome there EITHER

Ravelry: it's like Facebook! It's for knitters and crocheters! It hit the New York Observer! It spawns four pages of grudgewank! It's like a concentration camp, in a way!

Bare Feet -- Srs Bsnss

[info]dreamworld
Over on Customers Suck, a poster complains about a shoeless customer coming into the restaurant where they work. In the comments ladygzb doesn't understand what the problem is.

After all, not that long ago, people of no means went barefoot as a matter of course, so why shouldn't she have the right to enter a public place with no shoes. Social conventions are meaningless. Going barefoot flaunts convention the way gay and interracial marriage does!

If your feet have a fungus it's the fault of your shoes! I went barefoot all through college and never caught anything like a fungal infection! In short, shoes are just disgusting and they make my feet hurt anyway.

And people keep on arguing with her.

A tale of two pseuicides

[info]bookbug87
There once was a knitter named Danielle
Whose business wasn't running so well
Unable to dye
She pretended to die
But no one believed her death knell

Knitters mourned the late MommaMonkey
Her loss was a great tragedy
But a Twitter email
Exposed the tall tale
She lives on as confined2me
