But she didn't just express an opinion
In reply to: Wakener 's message, "Give the kid a freakin' break, for cryin' out loud!" on 19:41:19 05/08/02 Wed

She suggested that there was something pathological about us because we have a different opinion. She said, "What's wrong with you people?" She did not say, "I don't think Guber's sexy." There's a subtle difference.

I also strongly disagree with your assessment of Scott as a "weak" man. If he truly was "nothing without a woman," he would not have stood up to Meredith on repeated occasions. If he were truly weak, he would've abandoned his principles long ago in the name of popularity. But I have no problem with you expressing your opinion, as long as you don't personally attack me or suggest that I'm stupid or psychologically damaged somehow because I hold the opinion I do.

Steph
