===================
      Why didn't you ask for an apology to Sutratman also, then?
        I believe the situation is quite the reverse.  I told the truth, tried
to defend someone with FACTS and a reasoned analysis (which no one else did)
and Rilke, as usual, makes a post of petty ill-reasoned criticism and insult,
which one almost has to respond to - thus a form of harrassment.
     Also, we are supposed to be after truth here, and if one is so locked
into popular politically correct opinions -- like those that refuse to
acknowlege basic facts of femine psychology obvious to those that aren't too
blind to see - then it is quite hopeless isn't it.
      So MKR, if I were to repeat to you Rilke's quip to me, as a small
example, and tell you: "Don't get your panties all in a bunch!,"  I suppose it
won't irritate you at all.    If one dishes it out all the time, and refuses
to take the same dished back to them..... well this is hardly even fair on the
gradeschool playground rules that seem to dominate  here sometimes ( and
gradeschoolers aren't very fair, nor can they think too well.)
         If you look through Rilke's posts, you will see that her main
motivation is not philosophical, but just to irritate and largely to pettily
and ill-reasonably criticise (as well as a delight in being clever for
cleverness sake itself), which is hardly a positive trait.
                  -  Jake J.
