Dear Ms. Penni: I have never ventured onto your thread - keeping with the promise I made long ago, not to contaminate it. The fact is, I have no essential means of communicating with either your or CGB's threads, having nothing in communicatable form to give to or take from either. This Feelings one seems chaotic. I was off it till a soft note of invitation came from CGB. Then I won the 14000 prize, the lure. And I tried to support, spiritually, the points being sledgehammered home, because I believe in their validity. Only to come to a conflict of foundation for principles. (I believe we all argue backwards, from conclusion to justification. Is that inductive reasoning? Well, in any case, the imposing wordiness of this thread, and its inability to accept flexibility, its rigidity, its didacticness, its bitchyness - the snotty response to you, several posts ago, in dialect, in ignorance, was the most petulant and petty of all posts I have ever read.) There, in my truly cursory view, are two masters on these threads - maybe a third. One is the perpetually menstruating CGB, spilling her menses all over what could be nice and conversational folk. Two is you, a complete literary master, capable of word twists and idea formations that are awesome, that should go to greater plains. And, possibly, three: the idiot terry/galt person who, at this immediate point in time, is about to disintegrate (again) with his/their regression to complete absurdity - he is now into 'trees.' (The postman is a being I cannot conceive of. Is it a computer-facilitated spewing of all facts of all times? Is this what we hope our species will evolve to, a Renaissance Being Living Today?) Your thread, why I don't belong there: There is nothing experiential that I could take nor give to it. As for wit, it is superb - in addition to your own. As for content, it just is another playing field from mine. (Wit on this thread - it ain't there.) So, CGB, do whatever you have to do. A day or two ago I rallied for your spirit and dedication. Now, I see you as a fanatic. Bitch was a warm and fluid word, fanatic is not. Ta-ta, gsm
