-
- Since you insist on me taking your response on face value instead
- of as an attempted gross-out, I'll do you the courtesy. But don't
- count on me doing it all the time.
-
- >Keith in return made an offer to *me* which I was also free to

-
- Not only did you not decline it, you repeated it and asked me to
- respond to it yet again, since you'd missed my first response.
- I inferred that you therefore approved of his offer.

-
- So I'm not claiming it, I'm just claiming that you consider his
- offer a reasonable one.
-
- >Sarah McCabe
-
- And since you can't seem to tell the difference between an innocent
- babe in your womb and various objects up your intestinal tract, I
- hereby make a counteroffer.
-
- I will provide you with all the free enemas you desire in return
- for a pledge not to have an abortion unless your very life is
- threatened by continuing the pregnancy.
