	I read somewhere that women tend to say things
like 'I think that...' or 'I feel that...' where men tend to
leave off the first part and say just '... is so.' Excusing
people on semantics is too easy. If you think something then
you believe it to be true. This whole issue is WAY out of hand
and I'm bloody sick of the whole thing. I don't think anything
any one of us can say or do will result is something constructive. If
Trish thinks men are creeps, then men are creeps to her, and 
there ain't a damn thing any of us is going to do about it.
We can continue to argue about whether she made a bigoted state-
ment. But what purpose would that serve? Do we want to define
what a bigoted statement is? Do we expect to change Trish's mind?
Come on, let's be real here. Let's just declare a truce. We are
at a stand off here and nothing is going to change.
