From Don:
"I have always been glad that I reacted in that way, and I repeat, she was entitled to change her mind, even though she was a dangerous and unprincipled harpy."



So, Don....why did you regard this woman as 'dangerous' and 'unpricipled'?

I am presuming those words could mean that you expected her to have the right principles, thus NOT behaving in the way she did...and that you perhaps regarded her a danger....to men?   

And if I'm correct, did you regard her as a 'dangerous' woman because you felt that although *you* had the *correct* principles, others may not have been able to act with the same amount of control and she may have pushed them 'over the edge'?

Is that what you mean by 'dangerous'?


You see, the thing is, I feel that women who behave like that are also dangerous. They are dangerous to both themselves and to the men they come into contact with, and as such, they should in some way bear part of the responsibility of the *possible* eventual outcome of their behaviour.

Anyway, my thoughts on your words are purely *my* thoughts, and I am not meaning to portray your words in a way you may not have intended, but I'd be interested to hear why you described her thus.
