Geez, if this was a mail with KateKontent this mail would have been
awarded the prize for best mail in 10 years of gaffa, or at least
in the 1,5 year I have been on it.
Lord knows I too have thought Vickie was ready to jump into any
flamefest that occurred on gaffa, but this mail makes up for it
entirely. She actually turned a thread that I thought was boring
into something very educational.
 
Vickie, your reply to Kate was entirely justified, your piece on
feminism itself was highly informative, and you have teached me a
lesson in the process. One more man in favor of feminism - at
least, your kinda feminism. What I knew was only the extremist
feminism, and by writing your piece you've shown me that there's
more to it than the fundamentalist crap that is taking up somuch
from the spotlight.
 
You may be a "Bitch on Wheels" sometimes, but here's one person
that thinks highly of you.
