What I found inappropriate, the part that provoked me to protest, wasn't
so much the suspicion (though I admit that was a surprise, and given the
later info becomes more plausible) as the vulgarity that came with it....

Sandy, Peter, Darryl, et al... Doesn't that abuse, or degrade, the entire
list -- whether or not the suspicion is correct? There have been plenty
of times when someone was out of line (ahem, not to name names, but it
*does* happen). Or let's say, what if *I* had said those words, or even
"shove it"? There would be calls coast to coast for the EMS... In fact,
if memory serves, as recently as Spring, 2005, I was told to "shut my
mouth" for explaining in polite, logical terms in standard English (I like
to think even *educated* English) that I'd been misinterpreted.

Yet you fellas rush to defend the suspicion, not address the vulgarity. I
repeat: rush to defend the suspicion, not address the gratuitous
vulgarity.

Maybe this *is* the "boy" mind? AKA "double standard" -- or .... what?
