In a message dated 98-01-12 16:30:11 EST, you write:
<< Xerxes (? another pseudonym ?) then complains that I offend
him in referring to `yellow faces'. Would it help if I freely
admitted to my own being a dull, pinkish grey ? Are the
Japanese really such a tender people & their culture so
exiguous that when someone speaks of oriental rubbish they
feel crushed ? >>
I am sorta new to the group, but in my oppinion, you need to Watch It!! If
your original post was posted jokingly, I think that It is redeamable,
although not altogether appropriate...but this...now that Xerxes has taken
offense at your post (rightfully) you take her offense as an offense as if her
being upset with you is reason for you to be upset with her. The above
comment, to me seem very disrespectful to a culture that you obviously know
very litttle about. Please choose your comments much more carefully in the
future
