	Oh my *GOD* . . . > gasp < . . . you mean: Punishment?
Isn't that how most *DUMB* animals are trained? Chances are you 
are not *really* being rejected unless they can laugh you right 
in the face. And then, you had better laugh too.

	I agree with Phil. You take your chances. `` For your own 
good '' is, as far as I'm concerned, just another convenient 
excuse. Ambiguity is for neurotic wimps, the ones who have 
nothing better to worry about than their own personal prestige.
They are so worried about themselves, they could not possibly 
have any time left over to concern themselves with you. Why 
bother? It will probably end in flames, anyway.

	This basically describes something. Any person I want to 
have a relationship with I feel should be pleasure seeking, 
rather than pain avoiding. NO, it's not the same thing. It is 
fairly easy to tell, just compare the sizes of the lists of what 
they do, and what they don't do. ( got it? )

	They will reject you for any arbitrary criteria.

			SO WHAT?
