Why should I be offended? Some women do put it about. Just like some men do. That does not mean they all do.

Truth is you do not want to believe that people can hold opposite opinions to you and still be worth any validity or respect. Call them, wear them down, put them down... Believe as you will. You do already and that is the sadness in all of this. Not that you have a different opinion or viewpoint but that you are willing to call and abuse those who you have no idea about at all. I am no liar. Believe me or not. It's really no longer importanat to me what you think. But ask yourself this. Why should I say I am not offended if I am? I would have thought this thread shown I was not unhappy to dispute reasonably things I disagree with or that offend me. Fact is Jim Carrol's words did not offend me at all. You accusing by inference that I am lying does.

This is just becoming more sad but I will not join in with a slanging match or name calling. I am who I am. It's really that simple!
