Thank you very much, Poet.

Although this is not necessary.

I'm fairly sure that 'bland' would rather experience physical torture or actually die himself than to apologize to me.

-g-

I attract such crude, sex-based ad hominem 'description' because I am a blatant, forceful, 'outspoken,' liberal female.

With a journalism degree, to boot. LOL. What could be worse? Besides a law degree -g-

Jokes such as the 'coyote ugly' -- that was interesting because it was made by a self-proclaimed 'liberal' poster who actually met me in person and knows this is not the case, etc.

This sort of flaming has been much more graphic in my previous Yahoo! experience, where I spent two years on boards ostensibly populated with DELL and CPQ investors.

Women have one helluva a problem with me, as well.

That would be 'certain kinds' of women. Women who, best I can tell, resent my ability -- rather, my enthusiam and delight in expressing my views, etc ... in 'being me.'

It's wonderful, this 'freedom of speech' thing .... this limitless pursuit of opportunity ... all of these 'American constitutionally-guaranteed ' thingies' that are discussed so much on this board and its 'sisters threads' so voraciously read with all of these same 'combatants' (RWET and Kissy ... GEORGE W BUSH, to some extent, particularly lately -g-).

I am willing to accept a public apology from you, who I have not insulted nor called names privately or publicly at any time. But no, I will not be manipulated privately or publicly into apologizing to bonnuss, and I have pm'd you my reason, which you are welcome to post here.
