Bzzt. Please play again. Vickie said "Gays in the military -- in" to which you added "(out, shake it all about)" You said nothing more, and you gave no context in which the readers of r.m.g/Love-Hounds could interpret it. The fact that many people *did* see it as a bigoted and uncalled for remark says a hell of a lot more about *your* writing skills and ability for clarity than it does for *our* reading comprehension. >Now, can we please get our reading level above `retared three year >old'? My, my, we *are* self important, aren't we? You seem to have a talent for shifting responsibility. >Fer Kate's sake, no wonder we can't agree on an interpretation >for ``Get Out of My House''... The idea of comparing the lack of clarity in your writing to KaTe's penchant for writing about subjects with multiple interpretations is a laugh. Jeff -- |Jeffrey C.
