Please note that Judy carefully snipped the smiley face at the end of my post, so that she could exercise her usual drama queenery and faux outrage. What I meant -- and I suspect many people not as committed to turning *everything* into an argument as Judy is understood -- is that I cannot imagine anything more trying than maintaining a relationship with someone (of either sex) whose ideal in the other sex is someone just like them. That's a kind of narcissism that would be tough to cope with. Relationships are all about the *differences* between people, not the similarities. Who -- other than Robin and/or people indoctrinated by him -- would ever *want* to be with a clone of themselves? I'm just suggesting that, even as a passing aside, Ann's comment was very telling. Judy's? That just more of her normal nastiness and Yet Another Attempt to get everybody arguing, and thus to drag things down to her level.
