Gee Chris, this must be cyber-divorce time:

I divorce thee.
I divorce thee.
I divorce thee.

There, that does it some countries. Hopefully it'll do here.

I am not going to acede to your wishes and engage in a nitpicking session of the term homophobe. Fear and loathing are well-connected and jla and everyone else here who has chimed in on the subject knew what it is.

Now, to your attempts to get me to play based on my being a poet, let me tell you this: Poets love language and use it well and startlingly. They make people think about the everyday in new ways. They shake things up, explicate, sometimes startle.

If we had that kind of invective here on BR, IMO the wit would be worth the societal pollution you speak of in other posts.

Wit neutralizes invective, IMO.

Do you remember what Churchill said to the woman at a dinner who said to him, "Mr. Churchill, if you were my husband, I'd poison your coffee."...?
