That the poster has not since replied is a bit odd, but I just don't know if this qualifies as a zot worthy thread. Awkward as the story is written, try to re-read it. The poster seems to have twisted his liberal friend's words against her.
It is odd that the poster has not replied. Could be s/he felt the post said it all and moved on.
I think I was expecting a different ending and that's why I didn't get. I wanted the poster to say this to the wacky woman.
