- What was I saying about your reading level? Why don't
- you go back and re-read what I wrote. I said "seems
- crippled in some wway" and filled the
- message with more disclaimers than
- you get with most prescription
- medication.

- Who paralled them with children? I made a parallel withg
- a repairman that's busy trying to watch a football game
- while working. YOU brought children into it.

- If the shoe fits. You're also pretty good at quoting out
- of context and distortion. Methinks someone needs a valium.

-
- It is if you refuse to even acknowledge that
- at this point, all of the efforts have
- been on my shoulders. I have made *every* effort
- to deal with these people and their behavior, yet you
- say I need to empathize with them. Screw that.
-
- Sexism? You bet. I don't hear you telling me that
- women need to try to work with men in a male fashion.
