ORIGINAL: Leonidas IF you can be disuaded by a little vitriol hurled around on a message board, destiny, you probably should be. We are, by in large, not nice, genteel people from the burbs who just have a little kinky something going on the side. Lots more bikers than bankers. Lots more special forces and marines than accountants. Lots more construction workers than graphic designers. It's a rough crowd. If you would be horrified that a couple of men would get into a fist fight over a disagreement and then laugh about it later over a beer, all I can say is, run! *sighs* i hadn't meant this as any sort of jab at You, the Lifestyle and/or daily mannerisms, routines, etc that You pursue. As i said, i am simply a 'live and let live person'. Does this mean that i'm afraid to get my hands dirty? (ask my horse whom i've cleaned up afterwards countless times :D). Does this mean that i am a cultured, pampered little princess who would be horrified that a couple of men would get into a fist fight over a disagreement and then laugh about it later over a beer, all I can say is, run! - hell no! Honestly, i'd be likely to pick the chair up and hand it to You to use. As for the biker, construction worker, etc comments - my brother is a construction worker who just got his first 'baby' aka Harley. The look of absolute pride on his face wearing his gear and sitting astride his baby was a thing of great joy for me. The beauty of my world is that i can identify with the many conflicting aspects encountered therein. Just for me personally i prefer to take a laidback and non-confrontational approach to the whole damned revolving carousel ride we call home. Most likely because, my darker musings are simply not very bearable being jaded, nihilistic and overall downright depressing. (okay, so i'm not the best at gaining happy middle grounds!) In short, once again i was not putting down Your ways at all. Instead, i was merely striving to help resolve conflict (sorry, it's just what i do!). But alas, to no avail because it is that conflict on which You thrive, and as per my motto - have at it! who am i to judge!? :D
