- <p> ROSEANNE ARNOLD is calling for a return to civility. Yes,
- yes, Roseanne Arnold. TV's comedy goddess says she's tired of
- critics who attack her person rather than review her work, who
- describe her, say, as a shrew or a fatso. "It's misogyny, and
- I'm sick of it," argues Arnold. "These days everyone aspires to
- be Howard Stern." So why not, in the name of civility, give
- these folks a particularly unsavory taste of their own medicine?
- After her husband Tom Arnold's new sitcom received some bad
- press, Roseanne faxed nasty letters to three TV critics. One
- included homosexual slurs. Explanation? "I wanted him to know
- what this stuff feels like."
