[QUOTE=Carol Stream] Cite that he is a crook? And I don’t care if it’s the Pit. Put up, or shut up. [/QUOTE] My grandfather was police commissioner of Wheaton when Carol’s daddy was doing his dirt. Beyond that I’m not all that interested in changing your worldview, hun. ---

I can’t believe I’m going to defend her, but I don’t think **Carol** was particuarly out of line in tht thread. The OP _was_ a mess – a grammatical and stylistic eyesore which was difficult to read. Carol was a little unsympathetic, maybe, and not exactly on topic, but she wasn’t _wrong_, in my opinion. Some paragraph breaks would have been nice, and I too wondered if the name “Racheal” was misspelled. By the way, I believe Carol once let slip that she has a husband, so I assume she’s either a woman or a gay man. Considering her politics, I would bet on the former. ---

[QUOTE=Argent Towers] All I care about, is whether or not **Carol Stream** is a girl or a boy, and if she’s a girl, whether she’s hot. I don’t give a tinker’s damn about anything else, I just want to fucking know what gender this poster is. [/QUOTE] I believe she looks like the love child of Ann Coulter and Katherine Harris. ---

[QUOTE=Carol Stream] Just give me one example, please. [/QUOTE] You can also [go here](http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/), type “racheal” for first name, leaving everything else blank, to find all the dead Racheals you want. “Racheal” is a variant form of “Rachael.” It looks weird to my eyes, too, but I have encountered this spelling before, and it’s certainly out there. ---
