So the Kathy Griffin picture was "traumatizing"

Open racism - not traumatizing
Dehumanizing demeaning people - not traumatizing
Pictures with the porn star/whore - not traumatizing
Paying off the whore/porn star - not traumatizing

I've been paying attention this week on "the cyber".
I just wanted to make sure I was up to speed.

The money wasn't exchanged for the sex, it was to not tell everybody about the sex.

demonstrates how quickly a weak mind reaches for the lowest weapon available when facing a superior intellect.

Unfortunately such behavior is not limited to genetics, gender, eduction or ideology. It seems to appear immediately after the opportunity to walk away with any remnant of remaining dignity is ignored and missed.
