I have no idea why you didn't answer the question. It was obviously something that was bothering Emily, and you responded to her post without answering it. > Do you think? Seriously do you think that the whole post > had more than just a simple direct question to me as you > misrepresent here Show us where I misrepresented anything. Show us where I suggested there wasn't any more to her post than her question. Then when you can't do either, explain why you felt you had to misrepresent what *I* said. We can continue the discussion, if you like, once you've done all that. , or do you think that the whole message including the phrase: > > "If you were, than I say "Fuck you, man, fuck you" > > just MIGHT be experienced at the receiving end as more than a simple question? > > Especially since I had taken her at her word the last time we discussed this > that we were simpatico about its meaning and certainly not me trying to send > her a rape message for some unknown dark purpose. > > I am on the fence about you Judy.
