Maybe try “stable”?[/quote]

That would be more accurate but less hateable than a pretty ice princess from a "wealthy New England family".  [/quote]

None of my posts disparaged Nancy. Sorry that doesn't fit into the box you want to put me in. [/quote]
You said she came from a wealthy New England family. That's a lie. You portrayed her as Tonya's rival in a classist war.  That's a lie. Who wants to put people in boxes now?[/quote]

I admitted my word usage was bad but that is not a disparagement in any interpretation![/quote]

But you used that word, without knowing the facts because a "graceful girl raised in a wealthy New England family" has a much better ring than "a bucktoothed welder's daughter from Stoneham, Mass."[/quote]

And you're intentionally drumming up the poor Nancy story, less realistic than the rich Nancy story when the entire purpose is to compare their lives. Nancy's childhood had more in common with a wealthy girl's childhood than it did with Tonya's.

"I had a bucktooth'

'My mom just married her 5th husband and called me a fat pig and beat me with a hairbrush for not being perfect today'

Come on.

Of course Tonya COULD have chosen to be perfect. But my entire point is that most people that start out the way Tonya does don't have the fortitude to pull themselves into a different classier world. She did a terrible thing, she came from a terrible place. Those things aren't unrelated and we have a better chance at preventing future Tonya's by acknowledging that most people can't fix themselves after a start like that [/quote]
