"Mike, until you are in Joann's shoes I don't think you should be telling her that she should feel less offended."---Dan


Well then Dan, by the same token, Joann shouldn't compare her plight to what she stated above.

"You have said, a couple of times that, to you, there was no comparison between the two, but unless you are female you aren't seeing that side of the comparison."---JimVB

That was me JimVB who made those statements and I stand by them and in the same token, until Joann has a race change she isn't 'seeing that side of the comparison'.



Again, I don't doubt that Marshall's words have caused Joann pain that we might not know or comprehend, but my problem is with the statements she made. Joann, I'm sorry if you've been hurt by the comments made to you, but your analogies were inappropriate, even if only used for analogies.

Now I'm really finished.
