This reminds me of my constant experience as a substitute teacher: Me:
"Wigmichael, I'm going to have to write you up for stabbing Lubelinda."
Wigmichael: "Hey, how come you aren't writing up Bucky-Joe?!! He was
showering Rogerina with sexist slurs!"
Note: none of Chris's posts seemed to me as over the top as Bobbi's, if
I can be allowed to say that without being accused of sexism.
