    No amount of New to the Parish articles,

    I almost forgot about Sorcha Pollak. I remember counting her race based articles a year or two ago, and she'd written something like 20 in the space of a week or two. They were often very divisive too, often all but calling the Irish a collective of racists.

    “The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill--he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it.”- ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
