Kapkan and Elmer, RE: Stampeding to the door Do you have any comments for Ali's sexist post? I feel confident folks of character will not "stampede to the door" with respect to Ali's sexist post just because it isn't related to supporting their preferred political Party. Here are quotes from Ali's posts: ================================== Message 15462017 RE: "Is that the case with women being the CEOs ?" I don't know. Maybe it is...the capitalistic labor market has made it's choice. Why to complain?... Why you..."equal everything activists" are trying to reverse millions of years of Earth evolution in gender differentiation?" [Ali Chen] ================================== Absolutely sickening. And absolutely disappointing if this Thread doesn't get into gear and take offense with his incredibly sexist posts. In fact, I will question my involvement with this Thread, unless it acts appropriately so, as Mary has done. The majority of silence on this particular disturbing issue, so far is too deafening for me. Kap, you implied I didn't criticize Clinton for his conduct. As recently as 2 weeks ago, I did: Message 15389663 Rather creepy how leaders can act.

They should get along fine. ------- I'm positive that folks of character will speak up against Ali's sexist beliefs, and I look forward to reading your posts where you do this, because I trust you know the significance of a silent "stampede to the door."
