     Depending on how subjects go, yes.  A lot of your posts had something
to do with Kate, but their purpose is an entirely up-in-the-air matter.

     If you're so defensive of rights to express opinions, why are you so
hesitant to express your own?  I'd like to see them, really.  I would be
completely civil and myself if you spoke of Kate without what I might
interpret as insulting drivel.  Again, this does not mean you _have_ to
in order to please me, on the contrary.

     Hahahaha.  "feel free o email me."  You won't talk about Kate here,
but you will flame.  We're not looking for consistency with the flame war,
we're looking for consistent constructive Kate discussion.
     In other words, it is my own personal belief that you should take
the insults to personal mail (like I have with many people, and come to
an agreement very easily) and put your brain end in gaffa instead.
     You haven't justified yourself yet.  Why start now?
     And besides, who's holding up the flame string with her own hands?  I
know you'll have an excuse.  No need to post it.

     Please, I need some heartwarming!
     Seriously!  Love-hounds is cold right now.
     I think what you're saying up there is that bringing up Kate would be
contraditory to the current discussion.  Ma'am, we're drooling for Kate
stuff.  _PLEASE_ post anything you have of interest to Kate.  If you have
no interest in posting Kate, and intent to use bizarre excuses not to, you
are in the wrong group.  Do you post your Kate thoughts to alt.flame?

     Some of those buttons weren't meant to be pushed.  Why don't you learn
what the buttons on a human psyche do (including your own) before you pass
judgement or go on a pressing spree.  You'll live a much longer, happier
life, IMESHO.
     Not that you have to, but IMO your real self would come out a lot
better, much to our relief.  If you're the nice girl your friends claim
(which I believe completely,) why not show it off?  Why keep on with IMESHO
childish ridicule and toying?
     I want Cynthia the person, not Cynthia the bitch.  Again, so you don't
hop on the same wagon, that's my personal opinion.  Your decision will have an
impact on what I think, but it is certainly entirely up to you.  I think that
latter part is what you hide behind, but never really have understood.

     Aren't they sooo condescending?
     If you saw condescension in an uncondescending post, do you think maybe
you have a reason to think that is true?  It was an offer of reconcliation.
If you have no intention of coming to an agreement or a compromise, stop the
charade that you want to.  You have no basis to insult a person because of a
completely home-made reason.  Oh, you have the right to, but you're only
deluding yourself.  I personally don't give a damn what you say if it's
insulting.  I may or may not be alone, but I don't think that's what you're
looking for.
     Well, at least it was worth a try.

     No, how are they?
