Scalzi takes down a twitter and makes a tee shirt
So, yesterday, over at Reddits Red Pill subreddit, THE MENS were complaining about this thing I wrote, and what a tool I am, when one of them made a bold accusation:
"I can't find it now but several years ago his wife attacked a man in a bar with a baseball bat." -- "Red Pill" Reddidiot, re: Krissy (1/2)

I suspect the idiot is referring to a time when some drunk dude grabbed Krissy at a bar and she rammed him into a wall for it. No bat. (2/2)

"Scalzi thought it was all cool." -- Same Reddidiot. He's right about that. Proud of my wife for jamming that asshole into the wall.

For those wanting a contemporaneus telling of the Krissy backing a guy up in a bar story, it is here: http://whatever.scalzi.com/2006/09/09/dont-piss-off-krissy/

Also: Here's a picture of Krissy with a bat. This may have confused the poor soul.

@scalzi That's not what bothers them. It bothers them that you were TOTALLY OK WITH IT.
