<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>According to Ms. Roscovich and Ms. Mix it's all about the "danger" and the "physical aggression." In what way do the pieces of paper that you refer to make the event different, more feminine? Does the notion of men getting together to have a bit of fun with other men leave you feeling uncomfortable? Or is it really more about the who then anything having to do with the what?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is my understanding that the event happened under the tutelage of a retired professional boxer, that ABA approved headgear was worn by all participants, that absolutely no one was seriously injured (one punch was expertly blocked by the nose of one of the warriors but he lived to tell the tale and more importantly learned a valuable lesson in keeping his gloves up and his chin down.) and that a good time was had by all. With all this in mind, what place is it of yours to piss on someone else's parade?</FONT></DIV>

Based on a Viz discussion, concerning the Logos School “smokers” (as they are called) a while back, it was painfully evident that NONE of these requirements was even considered, much less accomplished.</SPAN></FONT></P>
