Nicki think you know perfectly well that calling someone "homophobic" is not civil and i wouldn't do that. i was simply pointing out that i didn't appreciate the implied gender stereotype in what you said. i wasn't calling you any names and i don't wish so please stop asking me to.
as i recall you haven't even agreed that you were employing a gender stereotype, much less apologized for it, so i don't see how we could have worked this out. but i've said my piece and
frankly, i'm done with it.i like peace. sometimes the best thing to do to have peace is avoid people who you don't seem to get along with well.
