I never said anything like that. Never even damn well close and I resent
your painting me as the foaming-at-the-mouth anti-standards
invent-my-own-web-authoring-language stick-it-to-the-world-and-laugh
fantatic you apparently need me to be in order for you to feel Right.

If YOU want people to play nice and stick to facts here on the lists the
way you constantly say (usually in the middle of a huffy "fine, if that's
how you are, I'm leaving" post), I *suggest* you yourself do the same. Or
just stick to the facts; I'm perfectly willing to dispense with nice if
that's what it takes to prevent people such as yourself from blowing things
up out of context. In the meantime, I *once again* suggest you read the
things I've posted on the topic before. I'm tired to death of having to
explain to people with your perspective that validation is NOT a black or
white issue... and tired to death of the fact that I'm in the grey area on
the topic makes me automatically Wrong.

Yes, Kynn, sweetie, I am in fact now a wee titch pissed at you. Note
however the lack of name-calling. Hmmmmm. Makes you think. Or does it?



the end.

"After a reading of the Starr report I am impressed by the salacious and
voyeuristic nature of your work.... I congratulate you for having opened 
the doors of libraries and schools to pornographic literature. Those of 
us at Hustler need your assistance in extending the parameters of 
pornography to a wide community of adults. You have opened a new era in 
promoting explicit sexual materials."

       Counsel a job with Hustler Magazine as 'Pornography Adviser' .
