However, any job I would loose because I objected to a biggoted comment I really don't fucking want. You can buy my time, buy my effort, buy my brains but you can't buy that. (Easy to say given that I've never been in a position where my basic livelihood was threatened, I admit, but I have called boyfriends parents, large men on the subway, etc., on shit like that.)
Thoughts?

I'm a solo, the clients are my job, so the problem is on a whole different scale. This client is ~1/4 of my income - and it's only a couple board members that are the problem. I have other reasons, but they are just as boring, so I won't go into it.
