<DIV><BR></DIV>Gary,<BR><BR>I'm not "normally demure." I'm normally just
a straight-talking and opinionated woman who writes better than some and worse
than others. I'm often stubborn, occasionally intemperate, frequently
passionate, and always genuine.<BR><BR>Currently, though, I'm astonished, if
not more than a little amused, that you would seemingly fail to realize that
"poopy-headed booger eater" was in jest. I was serious about "badgering,
bellicose twits," "stubborn, truculent ass," and even "testosto-twits."
But really, Gary -- "poopy" and "booger" aren't words I use unless pointing
out when someone's being immature in his or her belligerence. It's
irony, you big silly.<BR><BR>(And please refresh my memory on the object of
"stubborn, truculent ass." I want to make sure I don't repeat myself in
referring to anyone in particular).<BR><BR>With nary a "neener, neener,

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>No, I call him Mr. Campbell because that is
what I was brought up to regard as the correct way to address a stranger
who I am not on friendly terms with. I do not call him
Dr. Campbell because I reserve the prefix for MD's and introductions where
using the term will convey due respect and information in that context.
In my day to day interaction with people I almost never use the term. That
said, there is no question but what I occasionally do a poor job
of hiding my lack of regard for Mr. Campbell. If this occasionally
comes out in my responses to him, so be it. As I have said before, I don't
consider myself a saint.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Need I go on?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All this is not to imply that I think insult is
"fine, acceptable behavior" but, to acknowledge that when opinions
conflict sometimes the level of discourse might suffer. The fact that no one
from the MCA leapt in to criticize any of the above remarks is most likely
NOT indicative of their "endorsement of the politics of hate," or that the
candidates that they endorse are in some way complicit. To imagine otherwise
would be illogical and a mite foolish.</FONT></DIV>
