- Care to document that charge of PC-ness in r.h.f., or is this
- more Ronzone name-calling?

- It isn't trivia; it was an important part of your point and I
- demolished it. You didn't acknowledge it until I and 3 others
- called you on it. In the 2 years I've followed this group, this
- is the *FIRST TIME* you have *EVER* admitted making mistake.
- And you have made a lot of them. Usually, when you called on
- the facts, you change the subject and bring up some controversial
- flame-topic in hope no one notices you didn't address the issue
- that you'll say anything, no matter how false, to prove your point.
-
- >However, you have managed to entirely be "silent" on the core issue:
-
- I was silent because I didn't really have anything to say about
- it, pro or con. I think Packwood should be thrown out of office,
- I think Clarence Thomas should be impeached, and I think Kennedy
- should be tried for manslaughter and perjury. Since I didn't
- disagree with most of what you had to say, I saw no need to comment.
-
- You see, I think *all* sexual harassers should be punished. Not
- just the ones whose politics I disagree with. You only want to
- see the Democrats punished. That's where we differ.
