I think they express hatred towards two individuals. I don't buy your move to try to generalize it as against all women. You guys are running a version of radical old school feminism that I rarely encounter in women these days. And you are conflating the concepts of misogyny and sexist language which is bogus and hurts your cause. You are both dishing out and taking some heat for it. When you equate our words with actual violence against women you invoke a bit of a FU response from certain men here. I was going to claim that it was "tit for tat" but I may have to research that phrase a bit first to avoid being accused of being a woman beater for using those words. > > If you don't believe they express the wish-- > perhaps subconscious--on Barry's part that > raunchydog and I die violently, preferably by > his hand, you're painfully naive about how the > human mind works. Both you and Raunchy MAKE Turq's day as far as I can see. He is obviously enjoying responding to you both in an intense way. I think he would be greatly disappointed if you both stopped posting let alone died in a burst of feminist flame. I know I would. "you're painfully naive", Ouch! And here I was thinking of myself as soooo cynical and snarky about how the human mind works. I'll have to work on that. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "authfriend" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Peter <drpetersutphen@> > wrote: > > > > --- On Sat, 10/18/08, curtisdeltablues <curtisdeltablues@> wrote: > > > > > From: curtisdeltablues <curtisdeltablues@> > > > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Could this be one of Judy's > claimed "death threats?" > > > To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com > > > Date: Saturday, October 18, 2008, 1:34 PM > > > > The post of his that Barry goes on to quote is > > > > indeed the one in which he made the death threats > > > > to which I was referring, as he knew from the > > > > start: "Dumb angry cunts too stupid to live" > > > > and "If Raunchydog and Judy continue their anti- > > > > Obama activism at this point, something more > > > > drastic may happen to the two activists -- > > > > actually bursting into flame." > > > > > > These are not death threats.
