Lou?
Do you ever ask for clarification when you don't think you may be offended?
I always feel kind of bad when you ask for clarification from me, because I always get the feeling it means that you suspect that I have been offensive. And since I haven't *meant* to be offensive, it upsets and scares me a bit. Because I really really hate being a bad girl. I hate the idea of being a bad girl, and it scares me, more than anything else in the whole wide world.
If I could understand that you weren't always deciding whether to be mad when you asked for clarification, it wouldn't make me as anxious when you do.
Wouldn't you like to talk to us in other ways, too, Lou? I'd like to get to know you in other ways than just that you are a person who cares about injustice. I mean, I like that about you, but it would be fun to know what kind of movies you like, and what you do for fun. The sort of things we talk about in social. I know you have a great sense of humor, and could contribute a lot. I still remember that nice conversation we had about Psalms.
Just a wistful question, Lou. And I can't clarify it any more than I have, so I hope you don't see any possibility for my intending this in an unkind way. It really wasn't meant in an unkind way. I meant very exactly what I said.
