	Weeeeeeell!  I never knew I was hateful, sexist and dissappointing.

As to hateful, I have hated once in my life, and only a person who hurt me
badly and unforgivably.  The rest of the time I'm rather nice; a mench at
heart.

Sexist.  Thats a big one.  I have spent enough of my time working on the
ERA to derserve that one, all right.  That's where all the sexists are.  In
case you hadn't noticed, men and women *DO* have ever so slight differences.
Sometime you might take a few minutes of your time and notice them.  I have,
and I've enjoyed the experience.

Dissappointing is more revealing.  With an article entitled 'pawing,' I'm
sure you expected something pornographic.  Sorry to dissappoint you.

Appalled!  My, my.  I accidentally erased the rest of this article, but it
sure was pornographic.  It used the word intercourse ( flames to net.flame,
please. )  I sure as hell never said anything like that.  I used the word
'pawing' because it was less topical that 'caressing' or 'petting,' but I
never said that I wanted putz some poor maidleveh.  Keep your disgusting
ideas off the net, if you will.
