So I guess you don't have killfile. Oh well thems the breaks.

Again, what is it that you're wading thru the "private drival" to get to?
There's nothing else in there.

BTW in that what you call "private drival" are very important social isues.

: Get a life.

Whoa... you're right some cranky. Where's that Western hospitality?
It's not as tho' I asked you when the last is you got laid, where 
you get your income, if you have hobbies (that's hobbies not hubbies)
-- all things I'm asked in here and more.......

NOTE: You tell me to get a life, while you spend time wading thru
"private drival" in man.general to get to nothing. *8-)

> I checked out man.general to see what folks out there like to talk about.

: What ever for? 

Well, aside from being interested in what folks across Canada like to
talk about, YOU were complaining that the "Amero Gang" postings were
not of interest so I wanted to see what interested you out there in
Manitoba. What the hell are newsgroups for? 

My youngest daughter was in Winnipeg when she was quite young to compete
in a gymnastics competition. My eldest daughter is going to Winnipeg to
celebrate New Year's Eve with her partner's family. When my ex-husband
graduated he was offered a position at the University of Winnipeg or
Manitoba. He went out there to check it out. I was right some concerned
that he was going to take the position. But he accepted a position
elsewhere. Tho' I'd never been to Winnipeg, the thought of moving there
seemed at the time like a fate worse than death. Having met you, Michele
and a few others in man.general, my thoughts remain the same.

: Don't you have any hobbies?

Yes. How about you?

: Oh thank you sooooo much for evaluating the quality of man.general
: postings.  

What postings? There's nothing in there 'cept for the "Amero Gang".

: I feel so humbled in the presence of the great poster of
: taste and quality.  Don't you get the point of my post????????

Yes. Don't you get the point of my post????????

: (snipped some stuff that is irrevalent to the topic I had originally
: posted.)

You mean the picture of the sexual body part that supposedly belongs to
Barbara Amero in a thread Censorship at the University of Manitoba.
I thought it was relevant. You don't want Barbara Amero postings in
man.general but folks in man.general don't seem to mind her sexual body
parts being in there.

: Barbara, you seem to feed off the wrath of the men responding to your
: postings.  If you think they are scum then look at your diet honey. As a
: feminist _I_ am offended by some of your stretches in logic.  

Jean, you seem to be saying that I'm asking for it and enjoy it. As a 
feminist _I_ am offended by what seems to be your stretch in logic. 
And I'm not your honey. Newsgroups are places to have a public voice,
which is what I'm doing. 

BTW what kind of feminist are you? Whose camp do you fall in, i.e.
what feminist theory do you think best explains women's oppression
or are you a liberal feminist and don't think women are oppressed?
Or do you not fall into any particular camp? 

: But that point aside I am more offended that you seem to feel that ALL
: OF CANADA NEEDS YOUR POSTED CRAP!  AS I SAID BEFORE (in case you still
: missed the point of my original posting)  TAKE YOUR PETTY ARGUMENTS
: ELSEWHERE OR AT LEAST CONFINED TO NG CREATED FOR THAT TYPE OF LONG TERM
: DEBATE!

Don't you think it's rude to be SHOUTING? I might be offended by you
SHOUTING at me. Sheesh, if I did that the fellas would say I'm being
hysterical. That point aside, there is no time limit on debates in
newsgroups. And in the so-called petty arguments you will find all
the major social issues of conern in our society. For the most part, 
I just reply to posts that go off to where ever they're cross-posted. 
If they go all across Canada, my fellow Canadians, and women too, who want
to read them can, those who don't want to won't. BTW people in other
countries also read our provincial general newsgroups. I've had email
from people in Australia, Scotland and the U.S. in regard to the posts
in these newsgroups.

Again, the posts shouldn't be a problem for you, since there is nothing
else going on in man.general. Did that fella at the University of
Manitoba censor all the threads or just the FUCK THE QUEEN thread?
 
Just to reassure you, I didn't miss your point. But apparently you 
missed mine.
