Mick,

Unfortunately you are in a position where you can't ignore the fights. That must feel awful. You have my sympathy. Most of us can take it or leave it. Perhaps we should leave it more often than we do.

As soon as I read kat's denial message, it became quite clear that some perverted soul was pulling her leg. The humour was obvious. Most Muddcatters seem intelligent enough to not be fooled for long but I could be overestimating you all. Silly me. I still think that if kat had written something like, 'I don't recall writng this. Perhaps I'm suffering from animalnesia,' she could have deflated these clowns.

A teacher who I knew in Toronto once answered the phone to a male voice saying, 'I'm masturbating.' She replied, 'I bet you can't spell that.' It was a standard teachers' line but the guy was struck speechless, stuttering, 'You can't say that to me.'

Mary, your line about stalking sounds like clown baiting. Please take better care of yourself. Take control of the conversation. Don't over react. Don't become a target. That's my humble opinion but feel free to shoot me down.
