How long does it take me to compose such replies? Probably at least a good 30 minutes, Nita. I type faster than most folks think and can research/scan with the best of them, including you. (When I'm not being a sentimental dink and trying to give folks the benefit of the doubt, I've got a brain like a machine.) Being ticked helps. Whoosh!
If you limit your harping on OKC to substantive complaints and show him the same respect for his years of investigation that you expect from others where your own private investigations or private messages from anonymous stranger/proofreaders are concerned, it's quite likely you'll never hear from me again.
(The notion I would "use" Patrick Briley to get in a tranny dig is beneath you. Just as Mods and some posters will pull in reams of quotes from unrelated threads and even Other Web Site to impeach a person's post, I felt your Tranny Saga AND your work on behalf of Ted Maher belied the substance and tone of your criticism of Patrick. If you've got some criticisms which don't make you look like a rank hypocrite, fire away. I'm all ears.)
It's just that I haven't been following Patrick for two years now just to leave him hanging when -- upon the usual falling out and smear jobs that ensue once the spotlight's suddenly focused on a sleeper story for one reason or another -- folks start engaging in character assassination.
So, it's not really all about you or your past obsessions, Nita. I'm just not one to sit tight while someone of your caliber and posting history takes cheap shots more suited to a Klayman or Keyes thread. You've earned a lot of respect around here over the years and your opinion means something. I'd like to see it rooted always in the substantive.
(I don't know Nancie Drew and haven't been reading her for years as I have you. I suspect that, given her emotional ties to her friend, it's understandable she throw a punch or two below the belt. Like I said, I just expect more from you.)
Is Nita really that memorable?
I've always thought so.
Though I hope it won't disappoint you if I don't bookmark, even, your threads or our altercations over the years. I have no file of Nita quotes from FR -- or other sites -- from which to regurgitate at will. The quotes I took from you should be found in the one Tranny thread I opened (FASTER LOADING TIME!) and the last Ted Maher thread I read and in which I was impressed to learn you were doing your own investigation. Took all of five minutes, I'm sure to find, cut and paste them.
(I've gotten pretty handy at that sort of thing over the years -- some perverse part of my nature REFUSES to make a load of boilerplate for links/quotes I dig up and repaste ad infinitum. =)
Since you're getting all personal and everything ... (or is your psychoanalysis now strictly Professional?) ... Do you want to know the one thing you posted -- besides the somewhat understandable Tranny freak-out -- that did bother me greatly?
It's the way you actually stated once that you felt part of your mission here was to get these uptight Christian sorts to loosen up and talk openly about sex. Have some fun with it. (And you did a great job ... your threads often made for some hysterical reading but inevitably you slipped in some hard facts and provocative -- in an intellectual way =) -- questions.)
But on one thread ... as you defended your understanding of sex as Christian (by noting that you and your second husband had waited until your wedding night), you then proceeded to negate that in the next sentence by inviting all and sundry to your wedding bed where, you told us, you guys couldn't tell who was the biggest "rapist" on your wedding night.
<Thud>
Maybe you're an Ayn Rand fan. Perhaps you've never been raped. But right there is the moment I lost a certain amount of respect for and trust in you.
I didn't divine any particular purpose on your part (though I think you'd make a smashing sexpol agent, you dumb blonde you! =). I chalked it up to the area of study in which you're immersed and, perhaps, an incomplete undertanding of what constitutes a truly Christian view of sex ... to include female modesty and total self-giving (nothing even resembling something so heinous as rape).
Other than that, it's true I have always been jealous of your groovy handle.
Too cool for school.
Regards, Nita.
This could be worse than I originally thought.
You're remembering my comments about Christian abstinence and marriage that were made three or four years ago -- comments which had long ago been forgotten by their author. These comments are from an FR thread that has evidently disappeared into that Great Black Hole of cyber-space -- a thread which I can't find using Google, Hotbot, Lycos, AlltheWeb, or Dogpile. Amazing. Got some keywords handy? I'm not sure which words to use.
You may just have the entire thread handy, so if you don't mind, please post my "FR mission statement" again. I don't recall ever saying that I have "a mission at FR," even way back in '98. If you'd like, just post the entire conversation. We can pick up where we left off. :-) It may make for an extended, drawn-out 'chit-chat' because of my schedule, but it should make for some fun conversation.
But you're right about the "rape" comment. That was a poor choice of words and did a complete disservice to all women who may have suffered from any form of sexual assault at the hands of a Pig. Of course, most of us know that the huge majority of men are not Pigs and are actually very loving, affectionate creatures, so I think most readers got the drift of my comments.
By the way, that's "(kr
ch
r)" as in "a thing to behold" or "a person deserving of amazement and wonder," not as in "Big Foot .") And I'm sure you already realize that I don't mean "Pig" as in a literal "Pig" that goes "Oink, Oink," right?
I tell ya what... Let's change that nasty "rape" word to something more appropriate... more descriptive... (since you seem to be preoccupied with my sexuality).
How about this? Let's change it to: "Absolute Hang-from-the-Rafters, Mind-Blowing, Screechin' and Screamin' Sex" with my wonderful, loving husband. Is that better for you?
I know.. I know... I had promised I wasn't coming back. But now you're bringing up Sex, one of life's most gratifying experiences and a true gift from the good Lord above. Doncha think?
