[RICH ROSEN] > My comments were (a) humorous, and (b) harmless, while yours were full > of personals slurs. So who's slinging mud? My comments were (a) humorous (I put the smiley on there to show that; did you?), and (b) harmless (just as harmless as yours, at least in intent, and that's what matters, right, not the way it's perceived??? :-), while yours were full of personal slurs ("any mud unfairly slung belongs on Rich"). What were my personal slurs at you? "Mr. Non-Macho Non-Asshole" is what you've often described yourself to be. Your article *did* have nothing of substance to say, did it? And you most certainly are invoking Rule #1 here. (As I mentioned in following up Alan's even more pointed attack in net.flame, it's interesting that Alan is getting a taste of his own medicine with regard to *other* people misinterpreting the meaning of *his* articles...) (What are "personals slurs"? "Bi couple with giraffe seeks same for fun times, you smelly little drip"? :-) (Don't take it personally, Alan. The phrase was too good to pass up.) -- If it doesn't change your life, it's not worth doing. Rich Rosen pyuxn!rlr
