And by Ginger Stampley, too (not that I'm surprised by her ability to do so, just that I hoped it wouldn't be her; she's intelligent and erudite enough that she's difficult to refute). First of all, Ginger, no offense taken. I work on the principle that if I don't want it heard, I don't say it; and if I don't want it read, I don't write it and publish it on my blog. Contrawise, if I do so, it becomes public knowledge (subject to U.S. copyright law), and you or anyone else who reads it is free to comment on it, even negatively. However, I do note that you apparently failed to note the "if"s in my screed. Based on your writings (and not just that reaction to mine), I don't blame you if you were unable to get any further than the paragraph you quoted without having to run from the computer to take a shower and/or throw up. It might be instructive, though, if you were to get someone to copy it to the WP program of their choice, delete the offending paragraph, and print out the rest for you to read. My perception (to say nothing of everyone else's perceptions) of the relationship between sex, commitment, and romance is too complex to go into a single article here (possibly if I were to write about nothing else for a month...just kidding!). Suffice to say that I view your perception as a perfectly valid one; just not the only valid one. And, should you ever become a fantasy of mine, rest assured that you will not know about it. Whatever my failings, "kiss and tell" is not among them. Neither is "fantasize and drool". John "Akatsukami" Braue Sunday, June 09, 2002 |
