San Diego Zoo Lines: 29 This scares the shit out of me. I have been following this discussion with a moderate amount of interest. First off let me say that I am not really suprised at Trish's point of view. True, I have never met anyone quite so extreme, but nevertheless I have met women whose felt men were "guilty until proven innocent." (One of these, who initially hated my guts, is now a good friend.) What does suprise me is how the flaming going on about it supports her claims. The first few replies were clear and well thought out. Then however, this nice little yelling match between Greg, Alan and Robert broke out. Each, by various name calling and petty attacks, supports Trish's original claims. True, there have also been several quieter and more apropriate replies, particularly those by Chuq and Spaf asking Trish for a followup. I too would like too hear her comments on this discussion, and perhaps a clarification of some of the debated points of her article. I don't know, but it seems a shame that all the well meaning people on this net are willing to hurl insults at each other for the sake of defending {minority group, a lone individual, the right to bigotry :-} when a little respect and the willingness to accept alternate points of view could get a lot done. Oh well, 'nuff said.
