- Hmmm. I have no idea who this Tina persona is since I have never met
- her. I didnt think I was trying to defend this "persona" -- I am sure
- she can do that very well on her own -- as much as to lend a voice to those
- who believe it is OK to have your own personal prejudices without oppressing
- others.

- Well. That's not what I meant by "normal" -- but it would be quite
- a long-winded discussion if I had to get into explaining why i chose to use
- the word, "*NORMAL*" in that message. Suffice to say that the word is used
- relative to the attitude and negativity that I found to be prevalent in this
- group; it's not based on the fact that she chose only to associate with
- movie-star looking people [ which I find to be her own perogative -- "in
- matters of taste there is no argument", some wise man once said.]
