- Heh heh heh. Formula for a PLH rebuttal: no matter what your opponent
- says, claim it's only because HE says it. Well, the truth in this case
- is otherwise. Ask Siren if you can. You can't? Why not? is her
- address still a mystery to the net? Why? Your old nemesis, Chaney,
- once said she was flamed off the net by the politically correct
- pro-choicers. [He did not use the words "politically correct." That's
- my embellishment, to distinguish between the likes of Keegan on the
- one hand and a small handful like Elizabeth Bartley and Will Steeves
- on the other.]

- So, if PLH does not belong to this group, why did he insist on Chaney
- coming to his place to collect his apology? Apparently he thinks Chaney's
- wrongs toward him and his insistence do make a right as far as he is
- concerned. To top it off, he is ready to add another wrong: if Chaney
- comes to see him in the wrong place (no hint as to what the right place
- is) PatricKK will see to it that the appropriate police escort him away.
-
- Perhaps PatricKK thinks his wrongs, whatever their number, all make
- right--or, to put it in more traditional terms, might makes right.
- [See my follow-ups to Garvin on how much mightier the regular politically
- correct pro-choicers are than the regular pro-lifers--Suzanne and I, with
- Doug as an honorary member, now that Chaney appears to be on extended
- vacation.]
