the abusive language is actually quite an aberration. don't let it
stop you from enjoying the list. it's really only 1 or 2 people.

I haven't seen this kind of abusive language on the list for years.
I feel as one of the people running the list, I should apologize.
And I don't know the answer to 3.

3 Questions re: recent postings -
1. Is the (creative) writing posted on this listed generated
spontaneously or is it crafted?
2. Why does abusive language usually contain more references to
what is understood as female body parts rather than those
considered male?
3. Is it only in South Africa (outside of America and thanks to
the overwhelming American media influence) that terms like "Bitch"
and "Bitchslapping" are negative feminine terms applied to gay men?
