While i would agree that there is much to take exception to in the
original article posted by Mark, an article like this does much
to prove that some of the points that Mark has taken may very well
be correct. Not in the norm, but correct, perhaps.

I mean after all, a person who in the content of just one article
would:

1)Call a woman a bitch (if you take exception to articles written by
Jews, Blacks, or Asians, do you call them silly kikes, spades, and slants?)

2)Suggest that Mark commit suicide (the probable end result of jumping
off the Golden Gate bridge)

3) Assume that the entire world would be happy if Mark were to be
incarcerated in a mental institution (I must have been in the
ladies room when ya'll came to this consensus)

4) Invite her to engage in "warfare" with you on the net (my, aren't
we bad?)

Suggests that, lesbian sadomasochists aside, Mark may just have a
point when she talks about sexist males who don't know how to behave
crashing into soc.women and creating an uproar. Your article had a
parallel tone to Marks,' and proved nothing except the premise that
he can be right sometimes about the conduct of men on the net.
