Subj: Listening Skills
Dr. Wade,
I am curious, as I have stumbled upon several web pages that quote you as saying "shut the f***, bitch" to a scheduled speaker at a government sponsored event.
Could you please confirm or deny this?
The referenced speaker was Christina Hoff Sommers, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and the event was the conference on "Boy Talk" (a program sponsored by the Center for Substance Abuse and Prevention (CSAP) of the Department of Health and Human Services).
Thank you in advance for your most timely reply,

Right On. Personally I would have spelled the word out, though. I submit for discussion that anyone who writes the esteemed Dr. Wade should refrain from putting *** in the f-word he is reported to have hurled (phrased in quotes of course). Some people can't say or write that word on principle, but the rest should fill his inbox with the expletive in all its glory. After all, he's the one that said it. Why should we 'nice it up' for him. It's a vile and disgusting thing to say, and only a vile, disgusting man would say it to a woman.
