16. I doubt the lofty intentions of those currently nipping at my heels

Normally I don't divulge the contents of private DU mail, even the rare nasty ones, but BettyEllen seems to be wearing herself out that way this evening even after I told her to bug off. Is that harrassment or what?

Anyway, to save time let me post here my self-explanatory replies to 2 of her nastygrams:

Would you then perhaps prefer the term 'prick' when it applies to men?

If any grown woman throws up her hands and cries for smelling salts, she needs to step into this century. I DID NOT SLAM ALL WOMEN BY APPLYING AN ACCURATE TERM TO ONE BAD ONE. Your argument is not at all logical. If we followed your train of thought too long, we'd wind up not being able to say anything about anyone no matter how true.

FYI, SCOTUS officially declared the term I used - bitch - to be legally safe from accusations of libel or slander because technically the term refers to a female dog. If it passes SCOTUS muster, it's usually good enough for me.
==========================================================

Raising accusations of possible racism against me in the bargain will not improve your argument at all. The term 'fuck' is likelier to offend more people than the term 'bitch' ever did. You have no room to squawk.

BTW, don't bother me any more with your hypocritical messages to my inbox. You're not welcome here. Bug off.
==================================================


Besides, where's all this outcry against the Anglo-Saxon term for coitus that floods half the posts in DU? No high horse for you, my dear.

And yes, I am copying all this stuff in case the pie-holes (you don't mind THAT term, do you, BettyEllen dear? I mean, you're not overweight at all I hope or else you'll use it against me.)

Just not liking one thing someone says does not give you the right to open your umbrella of outrage to include all sorts of other accusations that suit you, re: the comparison of 'bitch' to the infamous N-word. That souds soooo McCarthyish.
