Oh, by the way...

If you think women have the right to own property, I'd avoid the Spare Time Shop. The store owner said some very offensive things about some of the people reading this when I stopped in to see if he had any Earthdawn books yesterday. I'm glad he didn't.

PS - Anyone who was wondering what Zelenka was doing at the beginning of Echoes? He was using my MQP to study Atlantis.

You are correct, etherial didn't explicitly state what the proprietor said, but there's heavy implications.

If you think women have the right to own property... If he was making general sexist comments, I'd totally quote them... make derogatory comments about your competitors

I was assuming he said something to the effect of "bitches shouldn't be allowed to own shops," and I took your comment to mean "he's old so it's ok if he says things like that," which now that I think about it probably isn't what you meant either. :-P I admit to sensitivity when I think people are defending biases such as racism and sexism - biases are bad enough on their own, but they only continue to exist b/c people who are unbiased defend them or at least don't bother to call them out on their bias.
