[Reader-list] STOP etc

[Anjalika Sagar]

Hi All,

Well I have not participated for this very reason... Men grandstand with language here - something that is rather tedious albeit of course so wonderful at times to read. I would advise more openess and tolerance towards all those who have not been so lucky as to have the kind of education that clearly some people have.

Basically -  be a bit more punk rock - and forget about the father ... think about communicating... this isnt some Victorian salon is it ?
