Perhaps.

And perhaps not.

I notice you said "he." Do you know that CR is a man? I had assumed h/she was a woman, I guess by the tone of the post and the historical nature of those who come to X's defense. Was my assumption in error?

People around here who adopt aliases should be required to attach a M or F label to their aliases so this sort of thing doesn't happen. I recall a moment early in Beltane, I think it was, where somebody was posting an appeal for smooches and I offered a big smooch and a wee bit more (nothing lewd!) thinking it was a woman (the alias sounded feminine to me) and Edwarda gently asked me whether I knew the person was a man. Oops!

Not, or course, that I wouldn't have been happy to offer a smooch if I had known he was a man, no worries about that sort of lifestyle with ME, of course, but it's just nice to know up front.
