   I thought my post was clear but evidently not. 1) could someone forward me
back my own letter so I can check it again. 2) The misrepresentation that Larry
alludes to passes me. I believe my point was if you concede the evidence then
you must concede the conclusion. The examples served as a way to illastrate the
institutionalized sexism under the surface in both the dismissal of Randi and
my female partners in debate. I got his point that he claims a fallacy of
equivacation between the business and postings, but I question that assumption.
Those are the tests below the requotes. If the only support is the cyberchat
speed distinction then this is an irrelevent test as stated in the letter for
written reasons, speed and signing on top....

   As to the frown and pot shot on my spreading. I must ask if Larry knows me
because I o not think I know him. In which case I can not help but further
emphasize what I felt in the top of my post on peer distinctions causing defacto
censorship. It is fine for Korcok to enter in verbal fistcuffs and not face the
same repurcussions. These personal attacks on my ability to be clear,
persuassive, and expound my viewpoint I feel are unfounded. I have attempted to
keep an as open mind as possible tothose who do not take my viewpoint on
speed/impax/argument subjects while some of my peers say screw them and let
them got to neda or whatever. But I feel that attacks like the one preceeding
the frown cannot help but build walls. We can spend a lifetime shouting from
twosides of a fence and get nowhere but the fact remains is there is enough
damage from otherization from the rest of the world why continue it in an
activity that is supposed to shape community (outside of ceda) values.
If my speed reading of the original posting caused my ego driven pre-pubescent
nasty undergraduate self to misinterpret the comment then I apologize. But
everything in the last paragraph is what I feel. And feelings whether
misperceived or not are REAL.
