- I wish you would correct people who continually claim pro-lifer's are
- trying to "take away the right of women to choose" by passing laws
- against abortion. By your standards, the right cannot be taken away
- in this way.

-
- Threaten? who? me? Not on your life. If anyone brings pressure to bear,
- it sure won't be me. My motives for saying the above were utterly
- different.
-
- And while we're on the subject of threats, my comment was in response
- to a very explicit threat on your part, or have you forgotten?

-
- Ah, but you have no idea just how explicit you have to be to have a
- decent (if such a word could be used in such a context) chance of
- grossing me out.
-

-
- Gee, too bad, you get to miss out on the cute response I was saving
- up for you and any bozo who took me up on my challenge.
-
- >Rumor has it you've done Jeff Stryker, though...
-
- Pathetic, little man. You have no idea what a real gross-out sounds like.
- [No, that wasn't the cute response I was referring to just now.]
