<enter disgusted mode>

I haven't been reading nut.singles for a while,
and I just peeked in, to see utter mayhem passing
through my machine.  <I don't qualify for
nut.singles any more, and at least one or two people
have told me to get the hell out because I don't agree with
them, so...>

Well, I started to write letters to about three people
about what Cheryl has to say, and about what the
"we're going to get you" jerk had to say back.


First, to the one who said "we're ...".  Cheryl
will believe you, even though it sure does look like
you're being sarcastic.  Why?  Because she's sooooo
used to being not taken seriously, and sooo used to
being beat up on, that she'll take it at face value.
You TWIT! <not you, Cheryl>


Cheryl,
	I propose that you've overstepped both the bounds of
reason and civility when you generalize to "MEN", not "some
men", "nasty men" or something like that.  If you
want peace, if you want to advance your beliefs, if you
want to have some men on your side, you'll have to
admit that it's not ALL MEN that have the problem you
complain about.  

	As long as one knows that one is going to be
judged guilty, there's no point in trying one way OR the
other, hence it's NOT in your interests to offend
half of the human race.

	It's also offensive to me to be told what I think
and how I will behave.

<end note to Cheryl>

<whine mode on>

Lookie, damnit, we're all in this together.  We all live
on the same planet.

If ANYONE is going to survive, we ALL HAVE TO GET ALONG WITH
EACH OTHER!  

Stop it!
<whine mode off>

What the hell, will somebody out there tell me, is wrong with
taking people at their word/action/behavior rather than
by how they look/act/worship/etc?
