- With embarrassment I must confess that in what pitiful archives I am able
- to maintain, I could not find the articles. Doug emailed me a nice, polite
- request to post them, and I can't find them. Guess I should have searched
- before I spoke.
-
- I will have to proceed from memory, and as I recall the article in question
- said that the writer wished pro-life women would get raped and then get
- pregnant. Many people responded, some polite, some flaming. I was critical
- but not inflammatory, saying that the writer's comments were highly rude,
- divisive and obnoxious. He got enough flak that he posted another article,
- attempting to explain the first one. Of course, it only got him in further
- trouble. I responded to that as well, in an article called "I understand,
- and you're *still* off base," in which I again said his comments were totally
- uncalled for.
-
- No, I know this doesn't help. But it's better than nothing, or avoiding the
- request.
