To all those who took me too literally:

I concede that my whimsical use of the word "rejection" was unpardonable.
Despite flames I have received to the contrary, I was aware that nobody had
made any advances, and thus no "rejection" could occur.

This makes not one whit of difference to the SUBSTANCE of my flame.  Whether
or not the situation involved is hypothetical, the stated reaction thereto is
not.  I may state to the whole net: "if X were applying for employment at
my company, and I had any say in the matter, he would be accepted when 
grammatical errors disappear from the net!"  While X may not have the least
interest in applying at my company, and I make no hiring decisions, this still
comprises a sort of insult.

If one wishes to clarify that one is selective in sexual partners, this may
be done without publicly giving examples of people one would not find
acceptable.  While Laura was not offended, if some MOTAS were to subject
me to similar treatment (stating that I were unfit for sexual consumption)
I would retaliate by publishing just for which sort of acts THEY were suitable.
Ignorance is bliss!

By the way, defloration is something that can happen only to a female, who
are born equipped with flora.  Males, on the other hand, acquire fauna as
they gain in experience.  Thus, while a woman may be deflowered, a man can
only be enfauned.  You may check any unabridged dictionary to discover that
this is known to few.
