I'd watch out with some of that stuff. Remember old Greecian Formula? Well, a friend of mine runs a hair salon or whatever you call it. She says that a guy came into her shop and wanted his hair died without telling her about the other stuff he was using. I might say that his hair went up in a puff of smoke, but I'm sure it wasn't quite that extreme. Vanity, vanity. <grin>----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie McBride" <abletec@xxxxxxxxx>To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, September 09, 2009 11:37 PM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: shades of greyBob, just-for-men is supposed to remedy that. I'm not sure they have anything analogous for women. Anyway, I don't use it & mine's becoming similarly tinged.

For example, James Joyce's Ulysses. I thought that I would probably never rate a book adult, but fairly recently I proofed one of those romances that got pretty steamy, and I felt in good conscience thatI had to rate it adult. But I may never press the adult button again. In other words, there is lots of gray in my book preferences.I think the same thing is true concerning how we treat each other on thislist. For the most part, everyone treats their fellow list members with respect, I think. But, sometimes in the heat of battle, we say things weregret right after the send button is pushed. Sometimes, in the anonymity of email, we act pretty childish, I don't know why, but some really nice peoplein person become real tigers while driving their keyboard across the internet. But I think as long as we show each other mutual respect, the battles won't leave any lasting scars. At least I hope not.

Obviously, if a book is available in an adult bookstore, it's adult. Clearly, if some1 calls some1 else a stupid so-&-so, they're rude. From there on, however, things begin to get grey, & what seems rude to 1 person may not seem at all rude to another & what appears to be adult content to 1 may not seem so to another. Perhaps understanding that most of the time we're dealing in grey areas might help folks tone down responses just a bit & also might help folks to give a little info as to why they rated a particular book adult or no. Just a piece of my mind, which, arguably, I can't afford to give, but... -- Change the world--1 deed at a time Jackie McBride Check out my homepage at: www.abletec.serverheaven.net & please join my fight against breast cancer <http://teamacs.acsevents.org/site/TR?px=1790196&pg=personal&fr_id=3489> To unsubscribe from this list send a blank Email to bksvol-discuss-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxput the word 'unsubscribe' by itself in the subject line.
