- I'd like to see some quotes from my postings to support this
- stream of unmitigated bullshit. When those who are fond of
- what the media purveys as the "way to look" talk about it, that's
- what is "expected." When someone like myself, or several others
- talk about what *WE* like that happens to be different from this,
- we get the line that we're trying to "force" our tastes on
- others -- as if that were possible, and as if WE weren't being
- inundated by the "mainstream" images.
-
- Sound familiar?

- Frankly, you don't know enough about me to make any statements
- about what I find attractive, particularly about what might
- involve my falling in love with someone. This is nothing more
- than a particularly crude verbal swipe.
