- Actually, it is. I neither read nor post to soc.women (except from
- alt.feminism, where everything I respond to seems to be crosss-posted
- there), nor have I (as you admit) ever expressed the idea there that it
- was "my space" and that you (men) shouldn't pollute it with "this kind
- of crap." Indeed, I don't feel that way at all. Therefore, your point
- is completely invalid.

-
- Absolutely. I was defintely being rude and condescending, in response
- to a rude post. And I agree with you that the person I was responding
- to was a bozo. *smile*.
