- Robert Stephen Rodgers sums it up in the following statements:
-
- "If women cannot tell the difference, well then--tough."
-
- (Thanks for making the effort to bridge the communication gap between women
- men with this enlightening statement.)
-
- "...but your partner insists on PLAYING with a thesaurus
- and PRETTYFYING all of what you're writing instead of aiding
- the task at hand...After an hour or two, you're liable to
- strangle them so that they'll SHUT UP long enough for you to
- think."
-
- ( I think your paralelling women with children who need to be (physically)
- shut up is a nice touch.)
-
- "...women (in my humble experience) seem unable to *commit*
- to getting the job done."
-
- (...by your guidelines and time-table.)
-
-
- "It is *not* a power issue."
-
- (...that you are willing to see, discuss, or begin to understand.)
