presumptuous

Dear Hapworth2,
Why are people so reluctant to identify themselves
on Bananafish ? It carries the danger of unjustifiable
assumptions.
I wonder, for example, how you became convinced
Xerxes was female ? Xerxes himself was, after all,
a Persian king. Why would a woman choose to hide
behind such a mask ? I hope you're not assuming
she's a transvestite.
I also wonder how you can be so sure of my ignorance
of Japanese culture ? You haven't, after all, examined
my vast assemblage of Utamaro prints nor perused
my collection of personal haiku, have you ?
