That's ridiculous. There's nothing wrong with saying someone's attractive...especially here where no one knows who you really are ;)

Doing great. Frustrated sometimes with the liberal whackos around here but my grades have been really good so far. How are you?

Just started a new quarter last Monday and so far...my students don't hate me. That is always a good sign.

I had to sit through a bunch of faculty meetings a few weeks ago, though, and boy, oh, boy...my tongue is still bleeding from biting it so hard. I hate it when people just assume that EVERYONE believes the way they do.

So I understand. Hang in there...play the game...and continue to think for yourself! Although, to be honest, I don't think that will be a problem for you.

As far as saying some one is attractive...when I started posting I promised myself that my "online/anonymous" personae would be consistent in every way with my real life personae.

In real life, I don't go around commenting on peoples looks most of the time, so it feels a little funny to do it here. I might say someone is attractive...but not "easy on the eyes," if you catch my drift.

Plus, in real life, when I say something outrageous, I kind of have this twinkle thing going on that I inherited from my dad—and people understand. It's hard to twinkle on line.

So...it's just a personal thing. I don't want to grow up to be a broad, but rather a lady.
