32 Mistress - I did not say any thing that would imply that in my mind. If
|
|
33 there is something that I said that you interpreted that way,
|
|
34 could you please reprint it here? i have no hard copy. If
|

35 the entry occurred between Sept 22 and Sept 30 it was someone

50 his legs, but I am not.

|
|
55 ho ho.......yes of course, old Ms. Abzugg. Mistress strikes me as one of these flaming feminists, which in itself
|
|
56 is a contradiction in terms, since most feminists are anything but feminine, who think of themselves as the
|
|
57 come-at-last saviors of womenhood. Forgive them father, for they no not what they do. In an iconoclastic world such
|
|
58 as our own, where the daily grind is nothing more than subservient acceptance of the powers that be, there is no
|
|
59 place for hot breaths of spite that spill uncontained from the lips of the feminist far left. In a chance that they
|
|
60 might forever change our society for their dubious idea of better, they subject our ears and eyes to a conclave of
|
|
61 impunistic rhetoric and impossible dialectics. Nothing is ever in the mean. There is no room for the heuristic thought,
|
|
62 everything is black and white. In their opinion, man, in the term of the male of the species, not humankind as a whole,
|
|
63 is the obvious fault in the fabric. Man's lack of tolerance, compassion, and human understanding is what keeps us
|
|
64 in the proverbial gutter. With a genderless society where total equality reigns over all, they feel that man, now
|
|
65 using the term in its Judaic form, can flower and grow into a truly beautiful thing. Little do they realize
|
|
66 that this supposed celibacy of the human condition will stiffle and strangle instead of nurture and fertilize. When
|
|
67 one ponders the actions wrought by these self proclaimed weavers of the future, one can not help but tremble in a
|
|
68 nilistic sense the damage that could be the consequence of their actions.

73 Reeling from the last speaker, I held my head up with great difficulty (was
|
|
74 the culprit the Kahlua, or the cream.) "Mr. Innkeeper ? May I have some
|
|
75 strong coffee ?" The Innkeeper, smiling still at the cleanliness of the
|
|
76 Inn, brought a steaming cup to me, including a dollop of the famous cream.
|
|
77 It slid down my throat, and made its way for my bloodstream. "Piper,
|
|
78 would you mind playing a lively tune, to get these old legs dancing again ?,
|
|
79 Something about a merry band of adventurers, who are silly enough to not
|
|
80 fear where Milchar is taking us."
|
|
81 The coffee had hit my senses, and I sat back to see if the piper would play
|
|
82 us a theme song to start the trip.

106 Free thinking? More like Muddled thinking.
|
|
107 No one is saying that men and women must think and act the same
|
|
108 (heaven forbid!). But to say that women have no value to add to
|
|
109 the human condition is a blatent showing of a total lack of
|
|
110 sociallogical perspective. Through out history women have had
|
|
111 as much impact on the development of civilization as men have.
|
|
112 Certainly women may not have contributed as much techincally as
|
|
113 men have, but they have have hardly left the field untouched.
|
|
114 I personally have known many managers, supervisors, and other
|
|
115 positions considered to be held by males, which were held by
|
|
116 women who did fully as well in the job as their male counterparts.
|
|
117 In fact, I even had a technician under me once who was a woman
|
|
118 who was one of the best technicians I have had the pleasure to
|
|
119 work with. And I might add that she did not feel she had to
|
|
120 act the male role model to be in the position. I finally lost her
|
|
121 when she was promoted to production manager. I never did find
|
|
122 anyone to replace her. I find this debasement of women to be
|
|
123 very disturbing. Sure, there are some examples of women who
|
|
124 fit the picture you paint, but I might point out that there
|
|
125 are quite a few men out there that don't exactly fit the
|
|
126 standard male model either.

155 "free thinking man":
|
|
156 You state that "this supposed celibacy of the human condition will stiffle and strangle...etc" without even
|
|
157 the smallest shred of evidence to support your position. Why should it? And Mistress merely asked a question. This
|
|
158 makes her a flaming left-wing liberal? If a woman asking a question implies that she is in the far left-wing to you,
|
|
159 then I think it tells the world more about your own personal opinion of women's place than it does of her. They
|
|
160 should just remain silent, smile gratefully when your magnificence speaks, and perhaps scratch on the door if they want
|
|
161 to go outside.
|
|
162 And the remark about Abzug. If you don't like her politics, fine. But her personal appearance should have nothing to
|
|
163 do with anything. She isn't running for Miss America, so why should you care? Why does it bother you so much that some
|
|
164 women have more planned for their lives than as Suzy Homemaker and a place for their husbands to park their penis?

168 put a finger to his lips for a moment and said, "Just a moment, please. I think

|

262 Everyone reads it and make really stupid remarks about whatever it was and
|
|
263 it blows up into a debate, what ever it was. Or they will just ignore you
|
|
264 altogether. This is juat about the worst place to have a conversation.
|
|
265 Just keep an eye on this message, it is to you but there will be mail from
|
|
266 some other person that just read it and felt like he/she just had to comment
|
|
267 even when it is not thier business. They think if you typed it into this
|
|
268 system then it was made for eveyone to see. Not just the person it was
|
|
269 written for to see. They will stick thier BIG noses into everything.

271 -----------------
|
|
272 To quote the above individual, "Wrong!" Leaving a message in a public place where any and all can see it makes it
|
|
273 "thier" (sic) business. Who the hell do you think you are to attempt to define what can or cannot be said here? The only
|
|
274 person entitled to do that is Mr. Day, and he has left the system open for any and all uses short of obscene (as defined by
|
|
275 him). You seem to be confusing the ideas of conversation and debate with personal messages, which indeed are the business of
|
|
276 those addressed and nobody else. If a personal message is what you want, there are plenty of methods available to facilitate
|
|
277 your desire, including BBS's specifically for that purpose. This one is designed with a structure so open that everything is
|
|
278 available to be read and responded to by anyone. Besides, it's all free! You don't have to pay a cent for BWMS usage,

301 Looking back at my last message, I find it looks ridiculous. Did I actually expect someone to call me at 6, drive out
|
|
302 here, find my house, and drive back, all within 1 hour? Somehow something was screwed up (me). Therefore I didn't go.

303 PorSFiS: Is there one on November 3rd? According to my calendar, yes. Ok,
|
|
304 that is the earliest I can even possibly think of attending a PorSFis. Namely, I take the SAT that day and get off
|
|
305 work. I hate working Saturdays...

306 Debaters: I like the debate, but I lament my sad lack of wit to compete. Please continue, but don't degenerate into

307 a name-calling session.

310 it. I think he has an 'A. Bug' fixation. Don't be surprised if Dewey, Cheetum, and Howe are mentioned somewhere. I
|

311 am deciding how exactly to rid BW of that menace. Maybe clear thought and good morals will suffice.

313 Milchar was packing his travel bag, a light one with about 10 cubic feet of INTERIOR space. He always tried to travel
|
|
314 lightly. Leaving the room, he found others ready to journey. The group quietly went outside.
|
|
315 Milchar whistled a low, penetrating whistle. A steed appeared over the hill, off in the distance, and covered ground
|
|
316 quite rapidly. In a few moments, he was there. "Thank you, Drinny.", said Milchar. "Are we all ready? Let us begin!"
|
|
317 "I believe we shall have to hurry a bit, but we should be there in time without too much rush. For now, follow me, and
|
|
318 enjoy the scenery."

322 Tarn watched from the bar as the troup followed Milchar out
|
|
323 of the Inn out after some fool adventure again. "Innkeefer!
|
|
324 Anoder grink!" Obviously he was well oiled after much imbibing.
|
|
325 Shaking his head, the Innkeeper place another glass of the clear
|
|
326 liquid in front of Tarn. After a moment Tarn picked up a
|
|
327 toothpick and started spearing futiley at the olive in the drink.
|
|
328 A dozen times the olive eluded him. Finally, Piper, who had been
|
|
329 watching intently, became exasperated and grabbed the toothpick.
|
|
330 "Here, this is how you do it," He said, as he easily skewered the
|
|
331 olive. "Big deal," muttered Tarn. "I already had him so tired
|
|
332 out, he couldn't get away."

|
|
340 Seeing the debate had cooled down (had the dobermans in the alley had much
|
|
341 to do with that?), the piper inflated his pipes and played Kennmore's Up and
|
|
342 Awa' Willey while Milchar was packing. Lingering behind the others to help
|
|
343 one in desparate need, he stepped out the door just as Milchar started off on
|
|
344 what seemed to be a horse. "Good!," he muttered to himself. "Milch seems to
|
|
345 have caught the right idea. The only way this crew gets anywhere is if someone
|
|
346 just goes and lets the stragglers come along as they will." Looking about, the
|
|
347 piper realized that he was among the stragglers -- no, actually he preferred
|
|
348 to call it the "rear guard." He smiled, as he did have a steed in mind for
|
|
349 this particular adventure ........
|
|
350 p The piper had been alone in the woods for some time on a course roughly
|
|
351 parallel to that taken by Milchar and the others when he came to the small
|
|
352 clearing that was his destination. Prudendce forbids chronicling what took
|
|
353 place over the next ten minutes, but at the end of that time the piper, strain
|
|
354 showing on his face stood at one end of the clearing listening to the rustle
|
|
355 of enourmous wings. He started to move to the middle of the clearing when he
|
|
356 was nearly bowled over by the arrival of the wings' owner. He stood stock
|
|
357 still for a moment staring at the horse-like creature before him. If it had
|
|
358 not been for the gigantic wings sprouting from it's sides, you could have taken
|
|
359 it for one of the most magnificent horses ever seen outside of a show ring.
|
|
360 Again, we will pull the veil over what transpired out of deference to those
|
|
361 who have sensitive consititutions (or stomaches) but within the hour the piper
|
|
362 was seated astride the Pegasus circling over the forest trails trying to
|
|
363 catch up with Milchar and his party.

366 From Promettheus; Conversation is merely Warfare concealed; Klingon Lyric
|
|
367 About this Great American Debate of the Century that everyone is so happy to see; It is not a debate, it is an arguement.
|
|
368 Not a very polite one, either. Mistress, if I may be so bold, is getting defensive because of personal attacks she really
|
|
369 DID NOT deserve. All she did, was ask Laz his reasoning for what she thought he'd said.
|
|
370 I think a lot of temper's are getting flared and it is being vented in the form of social commentarty.
|
|
371
|
|
372 Leonarrd; I tried GRAPH-P; it made BW very angry with me. It's ACSII code was eighty right?
|
|
373 I understand the theory though, I will see if I can muster enough assembly language knowledge to do it this night.

374 I never knew you were a Fantasy Gamer, which games do you play?

375 ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
|
|
376 Piper! You are wrong! The debate has not cooled one bit. I do not consider
|
|
377 a one day lapse cooling. Now let me address several points that were attempted
|
|
378 to be made. Promettheus:Mind you tongue obviously young man. Do us all a favor
|
|
379 and look up a few words. The words in question being social, commentary, debate,
|
|
380 argument, polite, and reasoning. Report back here if you dare when the deed has
|
|
381 been done. To a certain unnamed participant who seems to feel his or her
|
|
382 writing does not deserve a signiture. Do not confuse joe and I. We are two
|
|
383 different people, with two different outlooks. If you haven't the sensitivity to
|
|
384 see the difference, don't bother looking, or writing at all. Mistress. You
|
|
385 reply was so refreshing, predictable, and common. Re-read my first entry. Did I
|
|
386 ever once call YOU A FLAMING FEMINIST??? Your uncontrollable anger has once again
|
|
387 clouded any vision and insight you may have had in another time and place. You
|
|
388 react the same way to Laz's message. You are so insecure and insensitivve to
|
|
389 read in all kinds of mismeaning into his use of the word "man". I never never
|
|
390 said anything about "womenkind" as a whole. You read white but you see red. My comments
|
|
391 were soley aimed at the Abzuggs in the world. I pointed out that your jumping
|
|
392 to conclusions, possibly the only exercise you get, was similar to content and
|
|
393 thought brought to us by the flaming feminists who permeate the news these days.
|
|
394 And finally, to the person who wrote about "parking sexual organs", I thank you for the
|
|
395 biggest laugh of the afternoon. You wrote so eloquently, what can I say to add
|
|
396 to it? If you were able to determine all of what you wrote from my 20 line entry,
|
|
397 congratulations, and look out Mr. Freud.

401 From the back of the Inn, where the lurkers sit, a rather uncouth youth got
|
|
402 up, took a last swig of a sweet, black beverage and and approached the new-comer who called himself the Mad Hatter.
|
|
403 Hi, I'm know as the Phantom Glitch. You say you got one of the "Trojan Modems", pre-programed to drag you kicking
|
|
404 and screaming to the Inn, I hadn't realized they had hit the market yet. Well welcome to the Inn, you'll find it
|
|
405 interesting, at least. On your problem with the PSU system, of course you have problems, your supposed to have
|
|
406 problems, isn't it supposed to be a "learning experiance?" Let's just see what the Ancient Book of Protocal says
|
|
407 about PSU........ "check parity"..... Ok, odd, or even?...."figure it out for yourself, kid"..... The Ancient Book
|
|
408 of Protocal is a mean bastard...... Hope this is of help, Hat. With this, the
|
|
409 Phantom Glitch returned the back room, pausing on the way to get a refill of the Dark Sweet Beverage.

|
|
413 Debaters - I think that this is very interesting. My own views are that each person has worth, and despite my
|
|
414 living in the United States, some people are of more worth than others. The only obvious problem with
|
|
415 that is the question of who gets to decide the relative value of all the people? To each person, he is
|
|
416 normally the most important, a normal reaction.
|
|
417 This concept is modified by love. A parent will, in certain circumstances, give up his/her life for her
|
|
418 /his children. I would give up my life for that of my wife. A devout christian might give up his/her
|
|
419 life for Christ.
|
|
420 Outside of these normal circumstances, a person is the most important thing to him/herself. Even within
|
|
421 these circumstances, NO one EVER does ANYTHING that the person does not think will cause more benefit
|
|
422 than effort. (A benefit may be simply an avoidance, in this case. eg. Not having to live with the
|
|
423 knowledge that you might have saved your children.)
|
|
424 That is where this strange dichotomy of feminist vs. MCP has arisen. Each of the these finds more good
|
|
425 in categorizing the other than in trying to understand the other. That is sad. Mistress, I do not
|
|
426 accuse you of being a 'flaming-feminist', nor do I consider myself insensitive to the plight of women.
|
|
427 I do feel that many of the sociological and behavioral problems that the country is experiencing today
|
|
428 can be readily traced to the burgeoning 'Women's Movement'.
|
|
429 Having examined the problem, I think that today's youth are not recieving the guidance that past
|
|
430 generations have. This is due, in large part, to not having a parent at home. Notice that I did not say
|
|
431 a mother at home. I think it matters very little which parent is home, as long as one is. The TV
|
|
432 is NOT an adequate instiller of moral values.
|
|
433 I understand that economic necessity forces some wives to work, and that is a sad comment on our times,
|
|
434 (for archival reasons, I must state that I blame the economic woes on the House of Representatives.)
|
|
435 but I do feel that this has been the reason for a decline in the moral structure of the country, and
|
|
436 has given rise to much of the problems we see today in family life.
|
|
437 I am not advocating prayer in schools or the teaching of creationism, but I think the country needs to
|
|
438 go back to its roots, and find out what made America strong in the first place. The current debate
|
|
439 over feminism is merely an outgrowth of the current malaise the country is in.

|
|
447 cried. Thinking they had left without me, I ran out the door, and tripped
|
|
448 on my robe, sprawling in the dust. Looking up to the sky, I said "Was it
|
|
449 something I said ?" I heard a great beating of wings, and looked away in
|
|
450 the direction the others had gone, I saw a beautiful winged creature,
|
|
451 carrying a man with an octopus for a traveling companion. No, it was a
|
|
452 bagpipe, and the sweet strains of music floated back to me. Leaping
|
|
453 for my steed, I cried "Get 'em up Scout, We'll head em off at the pass."
|
|
454 So saying, I disolved from the screen and reappeared right behind the

455 travelling party. Unfortunately, I was also right behind a low hanging

460 Laissez-faire, why do you assume the person at home is "wife"?
|
|
461 I can see a nerve has been touched here, but somehow the idea of equality
|
|
462 of the sexes does not seem to me to imply an attack on men, and how is
|
|
463 it to equate to women taking the role of men? Is the desire to succeed,
|
|
464 or the ability to do it a male function?
|
|
465 Of course, in a male dominated world, men will succeed more often than
|
|
466 women, because there are more of them visible, so a successful women
|
|
467 is accused of trying to be like a man, but it is illusion, success isn't
|
|
468 sexist.

477 Bard strode swiftly thru the woods. He needed a steed urgently and hoped
|
|
478 that he could persuade an old friend of the apprentice to aid him.
|
|
479 He reached the clearing. He paused before entering, remebering the tales
|
|
480 he had heard (and told!) of events in this clearing. Pam & Bhairnhie, Tarn &
|
|
481 Green Eyes, many were the strange occurences that had taken place here. Small
|
|
482 wonder that the one he sought frequented it!
|
|
483 He entered the clearing, making a clicking noise with his tongue to
|
|
484 alert the one he sought.
|
|
485 He was there! Out of the shadows he walked. He was tall, his coat a deep
|
|
486 black that seemed to melt into the shadows. He turned his head to look at Bard.
|
|
487 Bard still felt uncomfortable looking into those flame-red eyes. He calmed
|
|
488 himself and spoke.
|
|
489 "Lucifer, old friend, there is a party leaving for the Ruby Valley.
|
|
490 I have need of transportation, would you oblige me?"
|
|
491 Lucifer appeared to consider the request for a moment. Then he nodded
|
|
492 his head, stepped forward and touched bard with his horn. #Yes, I will carry
|
|
493 you. I have heard of this valley, and I wish to see it.#
|
|
494 Bard mounted the jet-black unicorn and they were off. They rode like the
|
|
495 wind and soon they approached the party.

507 Riding Drinny at a brisk pace, Milchar glanced back to see the assemblage. A Friar, a few others... wait... Milchar
|
|
508 sensed some stragglers farther back, and they seemed to be travelling quickly... one flying? A short probe revealed
|
|
509 them to be Piper and Bard... "As long as they reach us by the time we get to the waste, I would hate to see them
|
|
510 devoured by some nasty creature or another. Maybe I worry too much."
|
|
511 The party rode farther and farther away from the Inn they loved, and soon came to more desolate country, mostly barren
|
|
512 with few trees to break the monotony... only another day's ride to the gate.
|
|
513 Slowly, the land changed, and the natural barrenness of the land turned to evil-smelling sludge and mire. "Whoa! Stop
|
|
514 here, my good friends! Prepare to camp, we have others coming behind and it would be best to be in a group over this
|
|
515 waste!"

536 The time spent in this new hell-hole had tired L'homme. He did not want to
|
|
537 think about the strange series of events that had taken him from the world he knew
|
|
538 and loved to this god-forsaken place. Why had he been chosen for this awful duty?
|
|
539 Why should he always be the one swept up in the quickly changing sands of reality
|
|
540 and deposited in some new place like so many grains of blowing sand? He did not know
|
|
541 the answers to these questions. He did not know why he was here or how he got here.
|
|
542 All he knew is that he would have to make the best of things, since he was obviously
|
|
543 going to be here for some time. He was better prepared this time. He didn't have
|
|
544 his trusty car with him as he did in his trip to Amber, but he had a new knowledge
|
|
545 of what was needed to survive in a hostile and many times illogical location that
|
|
546 he found himself in.
|
|
547 He parted the flaps on his small tent, to take another look outside at the dismal
|
|
548 surroundings he found himself situated in. As he stretched his 6'4" frame cramped from
|
|
549 the confines of the tiny tent, he spied several creatures in the sky to the North.
|
|
550 As he squinted in the sharp light, he could make out the general makeup of the party
|
|
551 who appeared to be heading in his direction. Just has he was about to return to the
|
|
552 tent to get his viewing aids, the flying party dipped below a hill, beyond his sight.
|
|
553 "I had better check this out. Maybe they know where I am, and what one earth I
|
|
554 could be here for.", he thought to himself. Packing up his collection of belongings, he
|
|
555 made haste for the
|
|
556 hill where the party had apparently landed, for they did not return to the sky.
|
|
557 About halfway there, he observed another flying creature heading for the general
|
|
558 location of the first party. This creature did not carry a rider, and by the look
|
|
559 of the thing, it did not appear to be a friendly welcome-to-the-neighborhood visit.
|
|
560 He quickened his pace, in hopes of reaching the hill before the new visitor could make too
|
|
561 much of an appearance.

|
|
579 sensible little finger on the pulse of the nation. About Bella Abzug--if looks
|
|
580 were a qualification for Congress, they'd never get a quorum.
|
|
581 laz: You trace the country's social and behavioral problems to the women's
|
|
582 movement. Is it not rather the reverse? The nuclear family (working father,
|
|
583 homemaking mother, and kids) makes up only 5.7% of U.S. households now. 20%
|
|
584 of all children live in one-parent households and 90% of these households
|
|
585 are headed by women. (These are Bureau of Labor statistics) It is curious
|
|
586 to me that someone who advocates cutbacks in social services advises these
|
|
587 women to stay home. Emotional security is of little value to a starving child.
|
|
588 BOTH men and women have been asking for freedom in sex roles. The women's
|
|
589 movement was preceded by the Playboy ideal which advocated a freewheeling
|
|
590 noncommittal lifestyle which reflected the dissatisfaction of many men with
|
|
591 the breadwinner role. But men often excercise their freedom by walking out
|
|
592 on their family, or by staying but refusing to work. Few women work because
|
|
593 of a capricious need for self-fulfillment. Most women need the money. But
|
|
594 women only earn 62% of what men do on the average and only 1% of u.S. women
|
|
595 make more than $25,000 a year. Hardly a liberating experience. How do you
|
|
596 advise these women to "go back to our roots"? Slash and burn agriculture on the
|
|
597 Park Blocks? Pillories near Skidmore Fountain?

600 The piper sat firmly astride the Pegasus, feeling great muscles working
|
|
601 under the silken hide. His pipes were inflated, but the rush of their
|
|
602 passage drew the sounds away from his ears unti the pipes sounded like they
|
|
603 were miles away, played by someone else. Leaning slightly, he signalled the
|
|
604 Pegasus to circle, first to the left, then to the right. He had the party
|
|
605 well in sight now. He looked down -- could it be? Swooping near some of te
|
|
606 party, he waved to the bard riding a magnificent black unicorn. He smiled,
|
|
607 and hoped they met no virgins -- where had the story started that unicorns
|
|
608 let virgins ride THEM???

612 Where is PAM to referee a debate when you need her?

613 (Inocent Bysitter: Blame yourself, you brought the subject up.
|
|
614 By the way, Off hand I'd say that Tarn seemed a bit too far gone
|
|
615 to really be aware of anything. No doubt brought on by his loss.
|
|
616 An all too common reaction I'm afraid.)

619 Rosencrantz: Well done. I commend you for your well-spoken tongue-lashing of theindividual who was so obviously offended by
|
|
620 people reading the messages. He/she obviously is not aware of the intent of
|
|
621 Cistop Mikey's board. But the statement that you fell into a trap was quite
|
|
622 correct....The way to fight fire is not with fire but with silence or water.
|

623 Ignore the twits and they go away.

625 Scorpion: Might I pose a question? Since when have not ALL people both male
|
|
626 AND female watched out for #1? Isn't that what life is mostly about? Human nature being what it is, it is only logical that
|
|
627 a person will look out for him/herself. That is the inherent nature of the
|
|
628 human creature. Ponder on that.
