> [@dougie\_monty](#): > > I am not impressed at all. Charlene Tilton, who played Lucy Ewing on \* Dallas, \* claimed to be a “born - again Christian.” And she stayed with the series. Puts me in mind of Leona Hemsley, or Jezebel, or Mata Hari. I can’t imagine any of them as "born - again Christians " during their careers. Did any of the last three women claim to be BACs? Are you suggesting **etv78** ’s childhood friend seduced him when they were in preschool? ---

> [@Dangerosa](#): > > How about ill mannered? There are some things that as a society, we’ve sort of agreed we don’t talk about unless we have a VERY close relationship with the person in question - or its an agreement that those topics are ok. That I can see. There are a number of guys I fooled around with at an early age. I wouldn’t bring it up with most of them because they have since decided they are straight. I’m fairly certain they have chosen not to remember it and it would certainly be rude to bring it up to them. ---
