Ärende: Namecalling
===================
Hello Everybody,

A deep conversation was overheard between Professor Bill
and a man named Dave in the FN_SYSOP echo -

"Your action is to be pissed off with Lee's postings.
Accept that and refrain from trying to force your will
on him." - Dave (HAL's best friend)

"My actions were made regarding the Z2C making a request that
namecalling of Janis cease.  Obviously, Lee takes it upon himeslf
to stir the shit, with your blessing.  I find it you all amusing...
I'll just lieave it at that.  LOL!" - Professor Bill

How many times does must you call someone a bitch?
How many times does it take?
The answer my friends, is forty-two times.
The answer is forty-two times.

Yes, I counted them.  Sir Elton John called himself a "bitch"
forty-two times in his hit song "The Bitch Is Back".

42.  You do realize the significance of that number?
Life.  The Universe.  And Everything.

"It's kind of my theme song." - Sir Elton John

My guess is that Professor Bill is upset because he thinks
the word "bitch" is sexist and derogatory if it is associated
with a woman.  I guess that makes not only Frank Vest as being
a sexist, as he called the Doggie With Diskette a female dog
(polite term), but also those men from Free Republic who staged
"audio protests" at bookstores when Hillary Clinton was promoting
her autobiography in 2003, their favorite "protest" song being
Sir Elton John's "The Bitch Is Back".

Of course, we all know where Hillary Clinton went from there,
travelling all over the world as Secretary of State in the Obama
administration.

What exactly is Professor Bill griping about?  Is he upset that
the Z2C has made a request that "namecalling of Janis cease"?
Or is it that he is upset that the Z2C beat him to it in making
that request?  Well, it seems to me that Professor Bill enjoys
reading the wordplay of others, while saying nothing.  As long
as that wordplay is not directed at him (or his princess), that
is.

If Professor Bill is serious about defending his lady love, he
should condemn ALL namecalling, regardless of who that namecalling
is directed towards.  But he won't do that.  He never has.  After
all, he has a reputation to uphold.

--Lee
