kind and you damned well know it. Don't you DARE tell a DU WOMAN that THEY don't care about other women. That is so damned abusive for YOU to say.

You clearly missed the comments I made when MORE Info came out besides the breaking news blurb--not that you would acknowledge it since you seem to think YOU care more about women than I-- a WOMAN do. And that is bullshit that you as an apparent man (or at least a poster with a male screen name) should know better than to accuse a DU woman of doing. A DUer with integrity would read the following and apologize to me. You owe me one (and other women here) one for damned sure.
