No, I had in mind William Randolph Hearst, Jr.  The present (and quite
alive) owner of well over a hundred major newspapers.  I thought it was
obvious, from context, that I was referring to people who were among
the living.  I should have been more specific, and included the Jr. after
his name.

You sent e-mail to my system administrators falsely accusing 
me of "letter-bombing" various newsgroups with abortion-related 
material, but I had made only one post to soc.singles.  You
didn't even bother to contact me first, you went straight to
my system administrators.  You fabricated that charge so that
my system administrators would be more likely to punish me. 

BTW, here's my new .signature, how do you like it?

  "It was easy to shrug off an aborted pregnancy as nothing more than
   a sack of blood and globs of tissue--as many pro-choice activists
   did--if one never saw fetal remains, or products of conception (POC),
   as they were known in medical circles.  But the nurses, medical
   assistants, and doctors who worked inside procedure rooms knew
   that while an eight-week POC was indeed a sack of blood and
   globs of tissue, an eleven-week POC harbored tiny arms and legs
   and feet with toes.  At twelve weeks, those tiny hands had tiny
   nails.  Although the fetal head was too small at that stage to
   withstand the evacuation machine's suction, pieces of face--a nose
   and a mouth, or a black eye (all fetal eyes are black in the
   first trimester) the size of a pea--were sometimes found in
   the aftermath.

   Later abortions spawned even more gruesome fetal remains.  Between
   the twelfth and the sixteenth week, early in the second trimester,
   the fetus almost doubled in length as its body caught up to its
   large head, and it filled out to the point where it looked like
   a human baby for the first time.  Since the fetal skull was 
   still soft, the head did not come out whole during the evacuation,
   but the legs and arms and rib cage made it through intact.  The
   hand of a second trimester fetus, as a Preterm doctor described
   it, seemed big enough to shake.

   Most of Preterm's abortion staff didn't volunteer to work ``seconds''.
   Late first trimester POCs were hard enough.  The counselor/medical
   assistants (CMAs) met regularly to discuss their feelings about
   their work, and often the discussion focused on the POC.  Inside
   a procedure room, facing the contents of the uterus, there was
   no denying what abortion was."

Does anyone else think that this has drifted a bit away from 
"polyamory" and more into "god" and "are children wonderful 
or should they be shot"?  

All it seems to be proving is that "polyamory" people can have
their heads wedged where the sun doesn't shine just like anyone
else.  Maybe the soc.singles people are enjoying it (doubtful, 
but who can know?) but maybe it shouldn't be on the polyamory 
newsgroup?

The only problem is that there is always some group that a person is
intolerant of.  That means everyone is a bigot.  For instance, are
you tolerant of neo-Nazi behavior?  Are you tolerant of serial killers?
These are just a few examples.  By mocking Christians, that is evidence 
that you are intolerant of this belief system and by your own words
you convict yourself by defining a bigot as anyone "that does not tolerate 
other's actions or belief systems."  In your case, Christianity.

So does not tolerating homosexuality make a person less tolerant than
not tolerating Christianity or any religion for that matter?

The point I would like to contribute to this discussion is that there
must be an underlying principle other than tolerance by which one is
judged.  Tolerance is neutral.  There are always things that each
individual is tolerant of and intolerant of.  In other words, everyone
is both tolerant and intolerant.  However, it is the underlying 
principle of absolute right and wrong that is the issue.  Finding and
upholding absolute truth I would think should be the measuring rod
by which something is tolerated or intolerated.

God bless,

Hmmm.  Maybe you people need to see it in another perspective. 
The children that frequent my convenience store are mostly
fatherless ones.  They were raised by black mothers who had a father
figure in the house often.. The problem is, most of them don't 
stick around long enough to learn the kids names.

So these little brats come into my store, with their chip on their
shoulder, and try to buy cigarettes.  The law in 
Virginia states that one must be 18 to purchase tobacco products.
When you ask these little lovelies  for their I.D., you are told, 
immediately, to fuck off. 
  If they had any respect for their elders, they would act like 
humans instead if animals. 

This, you see, is the result of single parent homes.

	Hmmm... I would have to disagree. People are generally judged on their
physical appreance when it comes to first impressions. After that, it's your
personality and other qualities that comes into play. Looks isn't everything,
as evident by the poll conducted by Juha Taina. Therefore, I don't think you
should make such comments about women. Someone might actually be insulted.
Perhaps it's your attitude that is getting you down, you might want to take on
a different perspective on the matter. Anyway, I wish you the best of luck in 
finding someone who appreciates your other qualities.

If she introduced herself as Elizabeth, I'd say that she already stated
her preference.  Why call her Liz, in that case?  I figure that, if she
introduced herself as Elizabeth, that's what she wants to be called.

Someone who decides to shorten that, and call her Liz, is, IMHO, being
just as incorrect as if they decided to call her Sue.

How about folks who don't presume to get overly familiar upon being

It's funny, too, how many of those same people will get incensed when
their names are played with.  The same person who will call me Ter, or
will take my much-loved nickname (Shannah) and turn it into Sha Na Na,
will become quite affronted if I take their name and mangle it.  I don't
often do that on purpose, but I have been known to do so, and it never
fails to get a really starchy response.

I think your flame was a little extreme.  If it really wouldn't bother
you if I called you Carrie, then maybe I can understand it.  If it would
bother you, though, you might want to give that some thought.

I'd say this problem affects the not-so-young transplants as well as
the young ones.

I think it depends a lot on where you end up.  After I left grad school
I lived in the Boston area for a while, and found there were always things
to do where I was meeting other singles -- for example, I signed up for
some fun classes at the Boston Center for Adult Education.  But here
in New Haven, it's been tougher.  The city itself is pretty dead, and
while Yale offers a lot of performing arts stuff that's not really the
sort of activity where you can make new friends easily.
