Lately, Jimmy Wales has been spouting off about how he's afraid of me because of this "sick fantasy" as he calls it.

In actuality, the gun is owned by a municipal police officer, and it was being fired on a private shooting range. The sidebar comment was just a joking, throw-away retort back to my friend Nicole Boxer. Jimmy Wales is the gun advocate, not me. Jimmy Wales is lying about being threatened, as usual.

For any of the ding-dongs who still believe that Jimmy Wales is capable of penning one stroke of truth about me, let me set straight the record: I do not harbor any desire whatsoever -- either tangible or fantasized -- of firing a weapon near, toward, across, sidelong, underneath, above, over, zig-zaggy, in serpentine fashion, or at Jimmy Wales, his family, or his ex-family.

My joke was spawned by the fact that Jimmy Wales is (or at least was) an avid gun owner and gun rights advocate. I am very distant from Jimmy Wales on this plank in the political spectrum. I suspect that men who feel the need to emphasize their masculinity with frequent firing of their guns at groceries may be compensating for deficiencies in other armament categories.
