I suppose what is and isn't guy talk is up for grabs, just my opinion
here. BTW, I did not say *your* comments were overtly offensive. I 
said *I* would refrain from it. And please leave my ancestors out of it. :)

My idle persnickety side wants to dash off repostes like "Hit 
a nerve?", but I realize that someone might take it to heart. ;)

See? I said *I* would abstain for overtly offensive guy talk.
You certainly have the first amendment on your side to speak 
as you wish.
