That comment
I agree. It was absolutely disgusting. Personally, I doubt there's any coming back from it, but you might be right—let's hope so. Hope you're well! —Fortuna, imperatrix 14:26, 29 November 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks, @Fortuna. I was so thoroughly disgusted I could not sit by. Although I felt compelled to suggest they apologize, I have little doubt that will fall on deaf ears - which is sad, of course, that such people exist. But on the bright side for Doug, it makes evident the amount of love and support he has. We'd all be offended were such comment made to any editor, but it stirs up 10x the amount of indignation when it's directed toward someone revered by so many.
