Why such a response?  I am required to post thus to elicit a non-tempermental
response from you?: Jagger came into the discussion -by me- in response to your
proposal that a Badass is "usually male and admired almost universally by men
for being big and bad," and your stated doubt that "a cross dressing bi-sexual
Sado-masochist is quite what P has in mind here."  Jeeze Louise! You and anyone
else paying attention knew exactly what I was saying, and this response was
uncalled for.

This response is also a bit persnickety.  Don't you mean in your understanding
of P's definition?  Dis the owners of the machines that got bonked love Ludd? 
And who was it that loved Franky?  Could it be that your application of P's
"universally admired by men" is faulty?

This is supposed to be a discussion, and I am not persecuting you with these
responses to your post, nor insulting you in them.  Untill now we've been able,
you and I, to keep this civil.
