If you re-read the post I hope you'll see that I was saying it would be just as inaccurate to call you something dissimilar.

And...I don't wear panties, never been a lady, don't plan on having the sex change operation anytime soon.


I might as well add, I have a moose-hunting, 4x4 driving, C&W listening good friend of mine who I often call an ignorant redneck, and he loves to call his backpack wearing, anti-TV, bicycle commuting friend of his a tree-hugger, so I can take a good natured ribbing, I'm not that sensitive.

I did not call you a tree-hugger ... you did

you were also the one that brought up the term redneck and threw it out there with my name attached to it and then retracted it just as quickly ... I know you may feel very fond of your 4X4 friend but lets keep the term redneck out of this conversation if you dont mind.

also ... the term tree-hugger in this case was a term my friend called herself ... not that she actually chained herself to trees or anything like that but she has very strong feelings on the subject where animals are concerned ... but fails to have that much passion for people starving in the third world countries or the diseases like aids that are ravaging some countries.
