Let me ask you a fundamentally pertinent question. Do you think I'm
dumb? You've mentioned before that I should read your messages
_carefully_ and now you ask if I know what you mean. And, ironically,
the last sentence in relation to the content of your post puts you smack
dab in the middle of the "pot - kettle - black" scenario. -Or am I wrong
again?

Anyway, my idiotic remarks about women are meant to be idiotic remarks
about women. They're like the Polish jokes of yore except that the
Pollacks are broads. It's good-natured in a rueful sort of way so don't
let it upset you.

In regard to rf's manner of speaking, -yes, he probably could have been a
little more polite. But guys are guys. Nowadays it seems women want
them all to be pansies (except when they get the hots for The Hulk or
some fantasy which satisfies their inner lust.) If we have to accept
them (-and we do; it's either one form of abuse or the other,) they
should accept us with similar magnanimosity. I'm not saying rf wasn't a
trifle brusque or even egoey, but women should learn to expect that and
handle it with graceful aplomb so as not to start a needless fuss over
basically nothing. Containment is something which makes them desirable
(-besides the usual equipment, of course.)

Anyway, is it Kangaroo Day yet?
