Wow. Wounded vanity rears its (dare I say it) ugly head. :-) It's a good thing I didn't mention that photos of Ann in her riding breeches are starting to look like someone tried to stuff ten pounds of Jell-O into a five pound sack. :-) :-) :-)
Let me get this straight...pointing out that someone you consider aesthetically ugly IS ugly is a Bad Thing, whereas pretending that the guy who smuggled literally millions of dollars across international borders ISN'T a crook is a Good Thing. And pretending that the guy who has to waddle his 300 pounds up to a microphone and talk about Maharishi's vision of "perfect health" ISN'T hideously fat is a Good Thing. That sure puts all of Judy's talk about "honesty" into perspective, doesn't it? :-) For the record, I do not find ALL women ugly, which is what a misogynist would think. I think many of them -- including many women my age or older -- are quite attractive, aesthetically speaking. Heck, I even think that *TMer* Heather Graham is quite attractive, and is doing a great job on the new season of "Californication." I just reserve the right to call ugliness where I see it. As for what calling names "says" about another person, I suspect these two women might want to go back and look at a few of the things *they* have called *me*. Judy has claimed that I am a drunk, a drug addict, a tax criminal, and worse. Ann (being a few crayons short of a full box in the intelligence area) has usually limited herself to lesser "Yeah, what Judy said" taunts that she mistakenly feels will get under my skin. Me, I'm quite comfortable with no longer looking like I did in my 20s and 30s. It takes IMO a weird kinda person to take offense when someone points out that they no longer do, either. To get one's size 40 panties in a twist just because someone points out the *obvious* about their appearance makes as little sense to me as getting them in a twist because someone holds a different opinion about a psychopathic former cult leader than they do. Oh. Never mind. :-) :-) :-) ________________________________ From: "awoelfleba...@yahoo.com" <awoelfleba...@yahoo.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2014 3:15 AM Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] The World's Highest Ranking Alien Believer ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <authfriend@...> wrote : P.S.: And it says far more when it's men ragging on a woman's looks. It marks them as male chauvinists at best and misogynists at worst, no matter what they may claim in other contexts. (Especially when they do it without knowing what the woman looks like, as Barry did with me.) Speculating negatively about a woman's love life (as Barry has also done with me--he should only know!) falls in the same category. It's usually the last ditch effort by some loser to bring the equivalent of someone's mother or sister into the argument. Lacking any better ammo they simply resort to petty sniping at things unrelated to anything. Bawwy and Grey simply possess zero class. Period. Of course, Bawwy appearing intermittently in posted pictures here as the rumpled, grizzled, old fart that he is makes his comments almost hilarious - but not quite. It simply points him out as someone with a huge double standard - you know, the ones that imagine themselves above the need to give a shit about what they look like because they have so much going in the charm, intelligence and creativity department. Oh, OK, thanks for explaining. I agree, faces are purely incidental here. Apparently Barry and azgray feel otherwise, but it seems to me that to rag on what someone looks like exposes a certain, well, deficit in the ability to come up with meaningful criticism of the person's participation. It says far more about them than it does about the object of their disapprobation.

But, she forgot to post a photo of her own face. That, in itself tells us quite about "as-grey." Go figure. >>>
