to be, and because that is now how she describes herself.
I agree that actions need to back it up. So do you think training six
days a week for the sport for seven months would qualify as actions?
How about showing up and competing in a sanctioned event? How about
showing up and competing in two sanctioned events? At what point does
the term of art apply to that person more so than your starboard testicle?
Well I have never described any part of my anatomy as a "triathlete",
so you are one up on my "starboard testicle"!!

I personally had some quibbles with the people I saw walking the run who
couldn't even be bothered to pick up the pace to break a sweat at the
end. Maybe they were barely limping in after giving it their all
earlier, but it looked somewhat less than the effort I was putting into
it and felt kind of squeamish at they're being called triathletes, too.
So I see what you mean.
That's reassuring and refreshingly honest of you. There is a
difference you know!
Quoted message said:But I think that comes back to putting
actions behind the words. I'm not a triathlete because I said so, or
even because I showed up one Sunday morning. I'm a triathlete because
I've been training assiduously in three sports for the better part of a
year now and I show up day after day, week after week, month after month
and work on my sport and, as a consequence, I can do it.
You asked once if your scorn motivated me. Yes, it motivated me to
leave MFW. This [censored] just brings me down. I'm doing an absolutely
fantastic job of integrating challenges into my life and then MEETING
them.
That is ironic given how protective and admiring of you that I used to
be. It was you that decided to start a feud because of your feminism
and PC.
I like to think that I had something to do with extinguishing your
Usenet enthusiasm and excess, but my efforts paled into insignificance
given the fear of Christ that Buck managed to put up you. It was he
that did the business, plus the fact you don't like to see your real
name published.
With that kind of squeamishness I'm surprised that:
a. You came back for more.
b. You continue to be rude to those you know will respond and give
you the [censored]!!

You could learn a thing or two from me if you cared to.
There is nothing you know that I don't, and if there is I don't want
to know it!!
Quoted message said:You'd rather
lean back in your chair and make derisive comments about women and yearn
for Your Day.
It's nothing to do with "women" per se, I love women to pieces so
don't wander about generalising about one of my hobbies. It's stroppy
PC bints and feminists that get up my nose, as well you know!! ;o)
Quoted message said:I say you should get off the computer and go pick up one
of those tennis racquets and see if you can't beat the knickered ladies
with the freshly strung racquets.
I do often and have done always, making sure I keep them in the front
court so I can see their pretty little bottoms.
