Matthew, I don't know why I keep trying to make a whole human being out of you, because I bet I'm wasting my time, but I'll try once more. I guess it's my maternal instinct or something.
First of all, go Penni!!!!!! She wrote so succinctly about you that I feel like I'm just finishing her sentences or something. She and I have now written very cogent essays about elitism from which you could learn much. Actually I think Penni and Father Terrence could have a lively debate about many things, and that is one of the points I made--intellect is a combination of many accidents of breeding, birth, fate and personal effort. Perhaps your John Galt persona is so narrow as to focus on the same repetitive subjects ad nauseum, but I can tell from the few posts I have read of Terrence's that he is at least multi-dimensional, more that I can say for you. I don't like the way he sex-objectifies women, and I will take that up with him again on his return to this thread. And so is Penni a woman of many divergent experiences and opinions.
The point in a life well lived is not to dictate to others but to learn from each other so that there is growth in every dimension--personal, intellectual, spiritual, etc. A real synergy can be created from interpersonal connections between the open-minded. You have totally missed a point which is simple to grasp, so I wonder how well you really process information.
And when I wrote a serious essay which included the mention of cybersex, I specifically asked that everywone who wanted to comment do so in a dignified and refined manner. I think it is possible to discuss anything over here as long as people behave themselves and are not vulgar. I am beginning to suspect this adult level of polite behavior in mixed company may be beyond you.!!
I'm not itching!!!! I've been trying to tell you that for months. You're a little slow on the uptake, for sure. I'm perfectly satisfied by a real gentleman who knows how to treat women well, leagues beyond you, Matthew. But I still think you could learn how to be a full human being if you were motivated to do so, because your intellect is interesting.
But a black leather strap? Sure!!!!!!!!!!!! BEND OVER !!! And no crying, either!!!!!
Christine
