This is kind of the rub. It seems that some feel that there's a proper amount of outrage one must express, and if you don't express that amount, you're not doing things right. So that seems to be one form of action people take: Analyzing the outrage level of others, and if it isn't sufficiently outraged, feeling outraged about their lack of the proper amount of outrage.What can we do about the work of an author who has been dead for 85 years? Someone upthread even suggested what amounted to balefire-ing it and the author, which to me actually causes more harm then good (if you remove the sins of the past, you're more likely to repeat then).So we take note, we experience whatever outrage we feel--which depends upon our own mentality and can vary widely--and then we learn and move on, and we do better going forward. Hey, that's what we've been doing for decades, for the most part.</blockquote>
