I enjoy reading your posts but I gotta say, I was "vastly

You nailed it, Curtis. When I read the first of Edg's many rants on
Barry's cheatin' ways, I thought it was a parody. "Wow, Edg sure knows
how to write good satire!" was my first reaction. And then when I
realized he was actually serious, I couldn't believe it.

This reference was a deceptive dirty trick and reveals a profound lack
of understanding of this crime. It was inappropriately applied as a
shame tactic. Putting his behavior on an imaginary continuum of sex
crimes was unjustified and ugly.
That 25 year old barmaid could be had by just about anyone who
targeted her with the right tools -- lies and money would do for

This line drips with condescension toward young women
Bingo. Edg must be reading from the same manual as Rick about how
damsels in distress need rescuing from relationships of their own
choosing.
