For what it's worth, I find your pieces insightful, thought provoking, and valuable additions to public discourse. I am also sorry to learn that you are enduring a torrent of abuse from people who get their shits and giggles by being assholes. It would be discouraging if they were successful in driving you out of the Stranger or making you change your career, but every person is entitled to say when they have had enough.
So from an appreciative reader, please continue writing and tell your harassers they can go fuck themselves.

Well color me stupified, I had just never noticed that there are some authoritarian tendencies on the left, nor that communalism can be every bit as oppressive and pernicious as its close cousin, populism.

Phew, that was a lot to take in! Now let's move on to a related question: what is clickbait? Like, can we even say it really exists at all?

Katie Herzog is the real victim here.

Once again.
6
Thanks for writing this Katie. I hear and support what you're doing. Don't let the swine get you down. Their outsized hostility masks deep insecurities and doubts.

TL;DR

Echoing @1& @2, Thank you Katie, I really like your pieces. I especially loved "The Detransitioners', then again I have no right to have an opinion on the subject, as a trans-woman myself. I am also a garbage person apparently. Keep up the good work!
9
Bravo, and keep writing what you think, not what you're told to think.
10
I had to huddle under my desk with my therapy gliding possum for an hour after reading this.

But that is nothing compared to what we will be doing if the D circular firing squad leaves the Rs with both houses of congress again this coming fall.
11
The Left has gone from free thought to group thought. What a damn shame cause I think we are mostly right. Keep fighting with your writing Katie.
12
I enjoy your writing, and I was saying Boo-urns.
13
Hi Katie. Getting fisked by ECB is a rite of passage rather than a mark of shame. Keep writing what you believe and pay for any bottles of wine you take — everything will turn out fine.
15
You are so right, Katie.
17
What a complete pile of trash.
18
While we're at it, can we have a little sidebar conversation about the term "my truth"? Back in my day, we had a word for your "truth"...we called it your opinion. No matter how strongly you hold that opinion, you don't get to use the term "truth" to describe it. Way too often I've seen people try to win arguments by talking about their particular truths, as if something magical happens when you assign that terminology to whatever is being said.

I consider it to be the left's version of "Fake News."
19
I might have more sympathy if you weren't being paid by one of the most powerful guardians of the local far-Left group think. But yeah, good article.
21
Great piece-- long overdue. Thank you for your thick skin, Katie.
22
@20

Thank you!!!! That is an incredibly original and articulate insight from a person who didn't just read a post of Katie Herzog calling herself the victim of a witch hunt!! Our hats off to you!!!
23
I will give credit where credit is due even if The Stranger is guilty of social media censorship. Your article is insightful and well done. My only counterpoint is believing that POTUS and Republicans are in disarray which misses the point because they have still has gotten more accomplished in a year than Obama did in eight which defies the premise. This reasoning is reliant on two-dimensional thinking that discounts “moderate” Republicans and Democrats and is a constant surprise to identity politicians who are consistently losing their voice by their own hand. This, in part, is why so much has been accomplished and why more will get done next year. This will undoubtedly pull more people to the right as they see and experience the benefits of administrative policy for themselves. As long as social media is used by the media, public officials, entertainment and sports figures who hit the “report as spam” or “block” button every time a countering opinion is presented then they only do disservice to themselves and quash the voices who may not agree with them on every point but may find something they on which they can relate. Something you have proven today. Well done.

What delicious snacks you've set out for the Stranger Haters. Nom nom nom.

@27 - "for some reason"

Going to have to side with Erica Barnett on this one. But I don’t think you’re trash.
30
BRAVO, Katie Herzog! Keep on rocking the house, kicking serious journalist ass, and taking names! You are NOT trash. Thank you, too, for offering the reminder as to why I avoid Twitter altogether.
32
This stuff you're writing recently is just so easy. Taking the other side would be just as easy. I'm not interested in the sides, I've heard them both so many times before.

You're writing stuff you can do any day just sitting down at the keyboard. Go write something where you interview someone first, or you learn something you didn't know. (Yes, the detrans piece qualifies on this criterion.)

You can write a stock opinion and get some people yelling at you, and get some people praising you for being yelled at. Lots of clicks, no journalistic expense budget, great? You're chasing the old Facebook, it's not clear they're going to reward this kind of shallow engagement forever.
33
Just when I thought this blog had completely voided its brain, a ray of light shines forth from the darkness.
34
Good article.
I like to think these whiners that get offended if you dont have your "pronouns" in your email signature are not real progressives, but some mutant form of transients that have landed here from afar to get us all "woke" (hate that word when white people trying to be cool use it!) and to show us how deviant us true liberals are.
Cause we aren't keen on telling other people how to live, that I know.
35
Jill Stein = Ralph Nader. Unfortunately, Bush is in no way the equal of Trump.
36
Actually, that was not fair to Ralph Nader. He was merely arrogant enough to help elect a more-or-less garden variety Republican bozo. Stein not only helped get a traitor elected, but there is this funny coincidence about her being photographed at events put on by the foreign government that the traitor works for. Hmmm..
38
Well, does look like a lot of people enjoy team-signaling pieces, where they can sound off about whether they're on your team or the other one. So I guess the Stranger will keep it up. Oh well, it's easy enough for me to tell team-signaling from journalism by the first paragraph of it. If you cross-contaminate the Savage Love comment culture I'll be sad.

(Have you noticed that comment sections that self-describe as where you can "sound off" are consistently content-free performative team-signaling?)
40
Someone is accused, judged, and condemned for an alleged or apparent transgression, and the townspeople on Facebook and Twitter grab their pitchforks and rush to the burn pile.

This in the very place which led the witch hunt against Ed Murray. Priceless.
42
"This isn't about me but.........lets talk about me.
43
FYI, Katie, I did enjoy the article. Well done.
44
As soon as you mentioned your Aziz piece being called out by a former slog writer, I knew it would be ECB. Don’t let her bother you, if you don’t agree 100% with her, you are the enemy. She is a fundamentalist and like all fundamentalists, she makes the world a worse place.

Regarding your bigger point, I totally agree. I think 95% of my views could be described as conventionally progressive/left, but I really don’t share the other 5% of my views with anyone but my wife because I don’t feel like being skinned alive on social media.

Nice piece, and I look forward to your future “trash” opinions.
45
Wow - no incendiary, panicked response to her Woody Allen comment? What an incredibly civil group here.
46
Whoa! Who are you Katie and how can you write so damn much so often?!? Just ran across this (linked by a friend) and I was damn impressed. Clearly I need to be hanging out at the Stranger. I'm sure I'll disagree with lots of what you say (because opinionated) but I really thought this article was super solid. Groupthink is bad everywhere but it's left wing groupthink that especially bugs me because that's where I live. Keep on fighting the good fight!
47
You belong in Thought Jail!!!
48
I don't have any context for this beyond your article on Ansari and the blog response to it that you linked to. That blog response was critical of your article (and made some good points IMO), but I don't see where the author trashed you at all or engaged in call-out culture.

I think call out culture and trashing are serious concerns, and you are hardly the first to write about it. For at least the last three years, that Fisher article about call-out culture and 'Joreen's article about trashing have been circulating in left/progressive circles. More recently, however, I've seen this language used as a way to deflect/dismiss criticism. There is a difference between people trashing you and people disagreeing with you. The Ansari article, at least, took no personal shots at you and even attempted to empathize with the motivations for publishing that sort of take.
49
This is the second time in two weeks you've complained about being hated, the first in a a grumpy post to "breeders" about contraception where you lament that your banal take that breeders are st00pid and why won't we just let the human race die off didn't result in a Pulitzer. So either you get off on the rage or you are way too sensitive to make your living giving opinions to strangers.
50
Another quibble. First off, loads of people are doing concrete things about it. I know there are people who only argue online and when I am arguing online, I too think that no one is actually doing anything. But then when I'm out in the real world actually doing things, I see how many people there are doing them too. If you feel that no one is doing anything concrete, I'd suggest looking for groups in your area that doing work in areas that concern you. If you are already aware of those groups, why not use your platform to write about them? And if you are already doing that too, I'm sorry but I'm just responding to this article and don't know your larger body of work.

Second, the idea that liberals and leftists agree on all the big things and just have some very small differences is untrue. If you will criticise one side or the other for their differences then this is normal and healthy- it's a part of wider discussion. But to claim the differences are minor or don't exist is not useful. It just repeats a misunderstanding. In fact, the only thing liberals and leftists agree with are issues of civil liberties (rights of women, lgbt, immigrants) and now increasingly health care (which has been a shift of liberals to the left not the other way around). I really can't think of anything else. Differences on climate change action tend to be about gradation, so that might be a similarity too. But on everything else- economics, foreign policy, public schools, police/prison, etc- the gulf between the leftist stance and the liberal stance is actually wider than the gulf between the liberal stance and the right stance. It's fine to argue your point of view, but it's disingenuous to ignore other people's stance and pretend they agree with you or say basically the same thing you say.
52
I agree that most people today are incapable of thoughtfully reading/hearing someone’s else’s opinion if it differs from there own. And that this state of being has let to many modern problems. I don’t agree with many of your views but I respect them. I do feel compelled to point out a problem with the “club baby seals” comment.

As an animal rights (I home retired farm animals destined for slaughter) and ‘eat less meat’ supporter, many people are surprised to learn that I support the First Nations community in their fight to preserve their culture. They have had so much stripped from them; culture, parents, children, homes, dignity, especially here in Canada. I believe that the “clubbing baby seals” comment is often used to represent the worst of human activities, when in reality it is a hunting method that is necessary for one group of people and distasteful for another group.

I think we should do away with the analogy
54
Well said Katie. I'm also sick of this new oppressive nature on the Left. I got roundly blasted the other day for simply saying that while Aziz certainly behaved like a dick in that date it wasn't the level of dickishness that justifies international shaming and threats to his career and that while that certainly sounded like a rough date that if it's really the "worst night of her life" she's had a pretty good life overall. That's apparently enough to start flame wars and threaten long term friendships these days.
55
@50: Disagree majorly about the gap between right and left being closer on public education, economy, foreign policy, etc. That is a huge over-generalization. Especially in education.

That said, I do think that EVERYONE has more in common than we usually consider. Politics: probably not. Basic human shit: yep. We (almost) all want to live a positive, healthy life and be allowed to do what we think is right. I do wish we could cross the bubbles more and converse about these core similarities in the social media realm.

I have a best friend who is heavily on the right, and I'm heavily on the left. We are still friends, even after he told me he thought banning Transgender folks from their bathroom of choice was a good idea. That boggled me based on our past discussions of his generally libertarian views. But we recognized that this political view didn't really change our connection and love for each other, had our moment of flabbergast, and moved on to play our next game together.

This is the big shift, IMHO. We talk and live politics SO MUCH MORE than we used to because of social media. Political identity is now perhaps the most prominent grouping of humans in our current culture, and the constancy and repetition makes all of us hate each other all the time, within our left/right demographics in addition to the already wide chasms between liberal and conservative. We need to put politics back in its right place. We need to remember our common humanity. It's really hard, but it's time to shift to a better, balanced place with political discourse.
56
"you would never, ever, ever, ever vote for Donald Trump (although you might vote for Jill Stein, which is basically the same thing)"

I fail to see how voting for Stein in Washington state (and much of the nation btw) is the same as voting for Trump. You complain about group think and people being intolerant yet this is a naked attempt at demonizing dissent from the business party duopoly by regurgitating establishment Democrat propaganda..
57
I just love this line: "(or you believe it enough to put a sign in the window of the palatial $1.5 million townhouse you just built in the Central District)"
58
Please keep on writing, Katie. What you do is called using logic and looking at an issue holistically and investigating both sides. As you note, the far left and the far right have something in common. They want easy answers and to castigate those who disagree.

I'm not sure if the Dems want to have the moral high ground and look down on everybody, or if they want to win national elections. If they want to win national elections... well, good luck scolding everyone and telling them they are stupid racists. Not a winning strategy.

I'm a liberal, by the way, and feel that the Dems are mostly right, but they are also prone to snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory. (See most elections since 2000).

At this point, I look at the far left as basically the same as the religious right. Ideologues who only care about themselves and their issues, and are obnoxious.
59
Loved this article. I've termed the conversational dynamic "Agree... or shut up." You describe it much more eloquently. I look forward to when we can have nuanced discussions on hot button topics again, without branding anyone who disagrees with a thought expressed as dismissive of the individual, their race, their gender or any other aspect of their "Truth". Jesus, it's exhausting.
60
Katie, if you weren't a shit journalist who repeatedly insults whole groups of people because of her ill-informed and poorly researched articles, we wouldn't call you trash.

Most people aren't called trash because they don't do this. You are because you do.

It's real sad that you actually think it's a culture and not just valid criticism directed specifically at you. It's like a whole article of missing the point.

Then again, I suppose at this point that is your signature writing style.
61
I agree about this witch hunt idea. The "left" constantly screws up because they are always infighting. The Republicans are really great at grassroots movements and the left can learn from them. I feel the left is where the lesbian community was many years ago. I felt that I didn't follow the idea of what a lesbian was and didn't feel welcome in the community. The left seems to be in that same place.
62
“It’s a shame because this call-out culture prevents people from actually speaking their minds, because they are too scared of being unfriended, unfollowed, blocked, shunned, or dismissed as simply trash.”

Boo fuckin hoo, getting yelled at on the internet is not a real consequence. No one is actually persecuting you, you’re not oppressed because you think Woody Allen didn’t do anything, you just have shit opinions.
63
@60 Calling someone trash isn’t valid criticism.
64
Katie - I appreciate your voice. How about as a counterpoint to group think you go be the first to interview Moses Farrow and share his side of the story?

@Paulus

Can you give me examples in education? Because what I see are that liberals and conservatives both want to continue a neighborhood property tax funded public school system includes charter schools, corporate resources and training, private funding in research and curriculum from philanthropies and foundations, school accountability and testing, standardized metrics for teacher qualifications, etc. The differences are that there are some conservatives who want to eliminate the DoE altogether, and the conservatives and liberals tend to disagree on vouchers, choice and unions. Though there are liberals who do support vouchers and choice, and they've done nothing to protect unions. In any case, I don't see what the liberal stance has in common with a leftist stance which seeks to disconnect public school from property tax funding and remove corporate and private interests and resources altogether, including most quantitative measures of teachers and students, and return control to neighborhoods, unions and local school boards, and of course an opposition to charter schools (obviously choice and vouchers) and wants protection against suspensions in early elementary years, etc.
67
@Paulus

As for economics, liberals and conservatives are both capitalists, and so their arguments are about varying degrees of reform or regulation. Leftists are not capitalists, and so their arguments are about socialism, communism, anarchism, etc. Obviously liberals and conservatives have much more in common in that way since they are different wings of the same system while leftists support an entirely different system.

In foreign policy, leftists are anti-imperialists and this is by far the biggest sticking point. Liberals continue to go along with US wars abroad and don't seem to understand what a big deal this is. Foreign policy wise, as usual the conservatives are more hawkish (Iraq, Afghnistan) while liberals are slightly less evil (Haiti, Libya, Yemen). But at the core, both are a part of a massive military industrial complex that seeks to support US hegemony and markets around the world, and in the war on terror, funds, arms and trains allies of terrorists while destroying their enemies and thus prolonging the war, destabilizing regions and causing a refugee crisis. The leftist view is anti-imperialist, which by definition is anti-capitalist- and so it's as far from a liberal view as possible. The liberal and conservative foreign policy viewpoints have BY FAR much more in common.

Now my point here isn't to advocate for a leftist view. You can criticise it all you want in whatever way you wish. But the often repeated belief that liberals and leftists agree on just about everything is total bullshit. Liberals and conservatives agree far more on fundamentals- what sort of systems to have, etc, they just disagree on issues of regulation. Liberals and leftists have almost nothing in common. They don't even agree on basic fundamentals.
68
@Daddy I don't believe in horseshoe theory bullshit, but I do agree that people in power tend to slaughter people to stay in power, and I absolutely don't deny that loads of governments around the world have done this, including the monsters you named. That said, it troubles me that Americans cannot see that in their own government as well. The US, in the name of democracy and capitalism, are directly responsible for the deaths of millions of people across Asia, Indochina, the Middle East, Latin America, etc. Then, indirectly, through military base support, arming/funding groups, coups, playing both sides of international wars, etc, they are responsible for tens of millions more. The death tolls associated with American capitalism are comparable to those associated with Soviet communism, etc. I'm not saying this as a defense of the atrocities of the Soviet state, btw. Just that our own status quo is not much better for many people. Americans find it hard to see themselves, I believe. Those of us who've lived abroad in places where US imperialism has destabilized are not so naive.
69
A friend linked me this article, and I was feeling brave so I thought I'd check the comments section. I'm seriously impressed with you guys. I only counted one butt-hurt ad hominem. Mostly substantive discussion and respectful disagreement? Wow!
70
One huge confusion though.
Unfettered capitalism is good for us. More people have enjoyed 'decent housing, health care, clean water, etc.' since the world had started to use capitalism as the main resource allocation tool than ever before.
The problem being that lately true capitalism has been replaced by 'monetarism'.
While true (unfettered?) capitalism used to be about 'trust' - that your business partner would essentially keep their part of the bargain, the current version is unashamedly and unabashedly focused on money.
Too many people no longer do business in order to make a living - as in 'housing, health care, clean water..., but in order to get rich. Filthy rich at all costs.
In fact there is no such thing as 'unfettered' (bad) capitalism. We are the ones making good or bad use of capitalism. Bickering about petty things instead of cooperating towards our common good.
The free market works in earnest only as long as everybody involved is able to pursue their interests.
As soon as the free market becomes a zero sum game - it is impossible for everybody to become rich at the same time, the whole thing is doomed to fail its main purpose - to keep the virtuous circle spinning in the right direction.
71
A relevant concept, which came up in a discussion of a recent article I wrote on my own blog, is "shibboleth".

I had apparently gotten myself into serious trouble over a statement that amounted to: "Why are we acting like we're certain about this claim of sexual abuse from decades ago? Nobody else seems to think that guy was within 100 miles of her when it happened". But that is a heretical statement for members of the tribe of people who are On The Right Side, because any questioning of any sexual assault claim is akin to supporting the "honey, are you sure you were raped?" attitude common in the 1950's. So now I'm no longer a person who can be trusted on this issue. I'm not On The Right Side, because I said something that wasn't allowed.

Anyone who supports mass action on a breath of accusation alone needs to understand that they're following the same impulse that led to lynch mobs back in the day. Not figurative lynch mobs, but hang-people-from-trees lynch mobs.
72
Katie got so much backlash for her article on transgender people who question whether they want to transition back. OTOH Charles Mudede got zero backlash for dishonesting slurring a Jewish man who was being targeted by racist black activists who called for genocide against him. Mudede proclaimed him a racist in the aftermath of an incident showing the activist saying "go back to Nazi Germany and left them Nazi's get at you again". The (lame) excuse used for this abuse was he "displaced black people". The Jewish guy posted on facebook a link to a Stranger article showing the property in which he allegedly "displaced black people" had been vacant for years and years. This is what Mudede claimed was racist- defending yourself against false accusations used to justify open calls for anti-Jewish violence. This same writer moans on and on about Trayvon (without mentioning his homophobic remarks) and Mike Brown (without mentioning his hate crime against that store clerk). Seattle leftists lost any credibility with their victim blaming in that incident.
74
The right wants to stay in the past and the left doesn't want to move on from it.
75
". (the alleged) stealing some cigarettes or pushing a clerk or a cop does not excuse or explain gunning down a kid in the street."
See, that's the outrage culture she's writing about. You throw out some inflammatory imagery ("kid being gunned down by white cop!") without any context or relevant facts (e.g., he had clearly signaled murderous intent toward cop). Or, to put it another way, instead of bothering to read the Justice Department report on the incident and do some thinking, you go for the easy dopamine hit of feeling outraged.
76
It's a good piece, but it's ruined for me by the understanding that for you and your fellow leftists of whatever pink pussy hat persuasion, we, by which I mean those on the other side of the political divide, are the same trash you decry.
77
I strongly disagree with about half of what you say but it would never occur to me that you should be silenced, but then I’m a conservative who believes in free speech. The idea that dissent should be crushed springs from a Fascist mindset, which is the core of the Left, national socialism. So far, it’s a national socialism without the death camps and world war, but the unhinged nature of it tends to push it to extremes.

The hyperbolic claims that “Trump is the biggest threat to world stability that we’ve seen in the past 50 years,” that anthropogenic global warming exists, that there is “white supremacy” that harms everyone, that capitalism is bad for us all, and that every single person on this planet is owed a living, these are irrational claims which can only be promoted and defended irrationally. The very nature of this ideology, most often argued with fallacious logic, leads inevitably to authoritarianism of the kind you are suffering.

Such authoritarianism by Leftist control freaks inevitably leads to squabbling factions denouncing each other. At this moment, you are in the denounced faction while at the same time denouncing those who disagree with your dogma. You find that unfair, yet you are continuing the death spiral of denunciation.

I recommend that in your search for the source of this hateful call-out culture, that you look first in the mirror. You are part of the problem.
78
I hear the "You are part of the problem." argument by people online with a variety of differing political POVs.
Reminds me of George W saying "You are either for us, or against us."
I can't imagine such statements broadening anybody's perspective enough to reconsider their POVs.
79
And the obligatory central district comment.
80
This is the Best piece I have read on the internet in the past 5 years, hands down. Kudos, congratulations, Brava, and thank you.
81
"Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out." Until you understand this, you'll be writing similar articles expressing your frustration with leftist fundamentalists. And until you reach this understanding, you'll continue to be in awe of your own woke-ness and the magical powers of the brute force of government.

By your own admission (confession, really) consisting of a short litany of specific political stances, it appears you will never open your mind enough to doubt yourself, to engage in self-critique -- a crucial component of growth, of reaching Truth. You fret that you can no longer converse with the Left. When was the last time you conversed with the Right? Ever?
82
"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Anyone who wants to shut you up for speaking the truth, is a trash person themselves. At some point, you have to stand up and say that you don't want trash in your life, whatever their affiliation is. A trash pile to the left of you stinks just as badly as the trash pile to the right of you. The only solution is to walk away and do your own thing. Those who have had their eyes opened, will follow you. The rest? If they want to sit there & wallow in their little prejudices and internecine squabbles, let them. Don't waste your breath - reach the reachable and teach the teachable. That's a much better use of time & resources.
83
@Better Failling: There are a lot of confusions about "capitalism." I think you've pointed out the biggest issue, which is the zero-sum-game. Capitalism cannot continue to provide opportunity without growth, specifically exponential growth: anything short of exponential growth creates a scaling problem which is merely a zero-sum-game variant.

Sustained exponential growth cannot exist in a real system. It cannot exist in a Petri dish. It cannot exist on the surface of the earth. It cannot exist in a three-dimensional space where expansion is bounded by the speed of light. So it isn't "monetism" that is imposing the zero-sum-game: it is the nature of exponential growth in a finite system.

The reality of "capitalism is good for us" is considerably more complex. If you look at the growth of capitalism from its origins in mercantile capitalism going back to the 12th century, you find that there is always an unexamined exploitation taking place. Mercantile capitalism exploited distance: as transportation improved, the world shrank (in a manner of speaking) and we used up all of the profitable distance. During imperialism, raw materials from the New World were heavily exploited, starting with the Americas, along with slave labor. In the First Industrial Revolution, coal and then oil were exploited, and would have been disastrous to capitalism except for a little-noted paradox: all of the "labor-saving" machines actually made the world a lot more complex, and created more work (maintaining a technological infrastructure) than they saved. So while weavers were thrown out of work, a much larger class of new labor opportunitles opened up, skilled and unskilled.

We have pretty much run out of things to exploit at the scale we need to continue our exponential growth. One of the chief evidences of this is the rise of monetism, which is merely one of the latest things Capitalism has come to exploit.

So the more correct statement is, "Capitalism was good for us." Past tense. We could have a friendly debate about whether it stopped being good in the 1500's, or the 1700's, or the 1900's, or perhaps at some point in the future: I would hope for friendly, since it's pure speculation. What isn't speculative is that sustained exponential growth is an oxymoron, and if capitalism hasn't already become bad for us, it will.
84
So odd.

Even in an article about being woke, in an article illustrating many opportunities of wokeness and examples of being less-than-woke, in an article expressing how one can act better in terms of all the elements where being woke can affect our and other's lives, there's not one mention amongst all the other examples of of Jews - who are almost always left out of the story when 'allies' write about being 'woke' or to decry racism/bigotry in general.

Just so ya'll allies know, the single largest growth in bigotry in America is against Jews.

So, let's not call people out, to be sure...but then - let's communicate about how best to support all marginalized groups, not just those that we like.

https://www.adl.org/news/press-releases/…. Otherwise, it's just another shade or partisanship that we otherwise decry.

Please wait...
