limitlessgrl:

I never said Gen was ugly, and I certainly didn't intend to cause her 'damage'.

Just because I debate people about things, doesn't mean I don't like them. In fact, I happen to like Gen a lot, and on most of our debates, she did a fine job holding her own.

My gripe centers around how things are done, not Gen.

As far as I've been able to tell, Gen's a really sweet, pretty, intelligent young woman with a strong backbone.

If I did cause her 'damage' by debating with her, I do apologize. I guess since I'm a nobody who doesn't know anybody or anything, I assumed I was pretty much like a very small bug when it came to Gen.

If I did indeed cause her pain by debating with her, as it sounds like, from you, that I did...I am truly sorry.

My mom is a very strong willed, intelligent woman. We debate all the time, and she knows I love her. She's one tough cookie, allright, probably as tough as Gen.

However, if my comments did create stress- I'm sorry about that.

I've been around strong, intelligent women all my life, and maybe I've just gotten used to debating them, without hurt feelings.

It's the ideas I've had issues with, not Gen.

I said a prayer last night for Ms. Padova, and I will continue to pray for her.

If you happen to talk to her, limitlessgrl, as it looks like you do...please tell her I apologize.

To tell you the truth, I really had no idea that she even listened to anything I said.

Let's get one thing straight, though.

I never called her 'ugly', or 'stupid', or 'bad'.

Gen Padova, even when she's telling me to go kill myself, is a wonderful, pretty, intelligent young woman who has a love of life and a good, strong backbone.

I want to see her kick this thing's ass.
