Well, mister Kevin, I've known you through a whole lot of years.
Yeah, I know.....we've never met...but I still feel as though I know you.
Weird thing this Internet (and one of the up sides to it, too).
You don't strike me as the sort of person who attacks people to attack a
person....
but you do strike out against an idea that's put forth.
And there is a difference.
Big difference.

Thanks, Billy. That's my intent. Sometimes things get heated and spin off
course. That's how human interactions go sometimes. I call bullshit when I
see (what I consider to be) bullshit. When people argue actual content
with me we generally get along just fine. When insults are hurled *only*
because I dared to question a "strong woman," well...I have no patience
for that at all. I wish I had that quote handy about always becoming the
thing you fight most. It applies in spades to some "strong women" here.

I'm going off the top of my head, but is it it Nietzche's "Battle not with
monsters lest ye become a monster...and if you gaze
into the abyss the abyss gazes back into you" ?

The quote of which I was thinking was by Carl Jung. Pretty similar idea as
what you've written, but a bit "softer." I think my paraphrase is pretty
close to the actual quote. I used it in my sig lines at one time.
