<these comments I have drawn upon are found in an article by allegra!alan>

< What the hell are you talking about here?
< it doesn't bear any resemblance to reality!
< Have you been hallucinating in front of your CRT, or what? 
< I guess you ran out of honest arguments a long time ago...
< You're obviously confused.
< You have an incredible bias.
< it's clear that you have a lousy self-image, and project that onto all men.
< Again, your comments have no bearing on reality.
< You are expounding the meaning of stupidity.
< Are you really as thick as you're acting?  
< Boy, did you miss the boat.  
< You obviously have bad feelings about yourself and men in general. 
< See a shrink. 
< Stop wasting my time.
< You continue to miss the point.
< This is getting boring...

I refuse to respond to Allen's comments because that would only serve to
give credence to them. I would look silly trying to argue against all of these
irrelevent and blatant comments. Once upon a time we were trying to discuss
responses to Trish's article. But not any more. I saw nothing constructive.
He has totally digressed from the original subject. He is now attacking
me personally. Just as Trish had previously been attacked. If you want
to discuss any one of those above opinions of yours, lets do. But under
a different subject heading. Anyway, the above attitude towards Trish
is what got me upset in the first place. Now you continue to show it
towards me. I see no future in any possible discussion with you about Trish. 
Others have no trouble expressing their opinions about Trish's article
in a calm rational manner. Why cant you? It leads to a much more
enjoyable exchange of views. I don't know what you call this we're having.
But I will not allow myself to be drawn into a position of hypocrisy.
So I am putting a stop to this. If you want to express an opinion
about what you think about Trish words, fine. Present your facts and reasons.
Then I'll give mine if I have a different interpretation. But please leave 
out personal attacks this time. Against Trish or me.
