VLVL2 (3) Zoyd and Hector

[Tim Strzechowski]

Not exactly sure why the hypersensitivity and aggression here, Terrance, but
how about knocking it off already.  You're a savvy enough person to realize
that this sort of tone isn't terribly conducive to a well-reasoned literary
discussion, so I find it surprising that you are still spewing this stuff.

I'm asking nicely:  please cool it.

Respectfully,

Tim

something Hector uses occasionally and sparingly, for effect. I get a
picture of the urbane, upper class Montalban of the 80s Chrysler
commericals, caressing the r-r-rich Cor-r-rinthian leather of a convertible
seat. That may be what Hector aspires to, but I don't think it's a
characterization he can sustain. His default persona seems more like a
weirdly inverted Cheech Marin than Ricardo Montalban.
