       No Mr. Terribile, Bullwinkle is not perfect!!!  I am the first to admit
  that and am quite able to live with it and still be happy while wrapped in      this mortal coil.

       I am glad that you gave me an intelligent response and I have read Mr.
  Carnegie's book.  The main purpose of my heavy-handed and overbearing assault
  on the sensibilities of the net's users was to get them to think about their
  attitudes towards other people.  Personally, I do not try to harm people; I
  only try to get them to be open with each other and to still maintain the int-  tegrity of their beliefs while being open minded enough to accept the view-
  points of others (I commend you on your ability to do so!!).

      I feel that the problem we have at hand concerns a stereotype.  That is,
  the popular image of a "caring and sensitive" man.  He cries when he makes
  love, is horribly romantic, and has practically no spine (i.e. he is weak and   indecisive).  The first two attributes are nice and show humanity, whereas,
  the third shows a person (male or female) who is not strong enough to take the
  blows dealt them by life.  This is an attribute I loath. In my eyes, a "caring
  and sensitive" is one who is secure in his/her own beliefs and feelings yet
  open enough to respect the beliefs and feelings of others (I sense that we are
  in partial agreement here Mr. Terribile).

      In conclusion to this long and somewhat rambling response (it's written
  immediately after work!), I would like to once again thank Mr. Terribile for
  his response and, hopefully, someone has woken up from sleep and started to
  find a glimmer of light in their attitudes.



				The saga continues. . .

  P.S.--- As to the type of person I am, (if you are around me).  I tend to be
          cheerful (when I have some sleep), somewhat silly, and willing to lis-
          ten (though admittedly opinionated).  Some call me "weird"(no, only
          a little strange).
