Geoff:
My dictionary defines diatribe as: 1) archaic: a prolonged
discourse, 2): a bitter and abusive speech or writing (which I
disclaimed), 3): ironical or satirical criticism. My use of the word
was #1.

Dear Sanneters,
According to my dictionary diatribe is defined as 'bitter criticism or
denunciatory harangue' I'm not sure I would describe this as
wonderful.
Words are easy to twist and meanings are easily misunderstood. If we
all were less concerned about our rights and more concerned about our
responsibilities to each other and society, gender and race issues
would be much less divisive and more likely to be constructive. Women
and men have always seen things from different viewpoints and reacted
to them differently that's a big part of the variety and spice of life
'Vive la difference!' I say.
