OK, yes, I've posted a few nasty vitriolic articles.
To see that as my characteristic voice here -- without
noting to whom I address those postings -- is perverse.

It's possible that not everything I post makes it to
portal.com.   It's also possible that George grows tired
from sounding out all those syllables ("News-gr...-grou...
-groups...Newsgroups") from all the articles that get posted 
to soc.motss.

"Hi folks!  Gee whiz, I'm sorry I never got to meet
Rob Bernardo.  He sounds like he was a bitchen' dude.
So anyway, folks, I had a great summer, didn't you?"
Insensitive is the word you want.

Can't you read, George?  I don't suffer fools gladly.

Yeah, so?  Haven't you ever hung around gay men?

Oh dear.  Comic strips.

What's wrong with those two sentences?  You are a tired
old queen, you are a drab, and you do live in Glendale.
So what's the problem?

Me, bait George?  Whatever are you talking about, Steve?

Whining?  Hypocrisy? 

No, I think George has a hormonal imbalance, on top of which
I think that he's not very comfortable around gay men.  And
how could he be, since his interaction with men seems to take
place at glory holes?
