And your dh made enough $$ to support both of you comfortably, do you think you would be working?

You seem to have read an awful lot into a post that was barely long enough to qualify as a subject title. What a shock you're now trying to sell it as some kind of derogatory manifesto on the topic of SAHPs. Is it too much to ask that your rein in your bias against Jorvia at least enough to limit your ravings to things she's *actually* done and not include the ones you just invent?
Do you think that in the amount of time Jorvia's been posting on this board, she's never once discussed sah?
Further, my point has been that I thoroughly enjoy Jorvia's posts and that PKA erred in taking my disagreements with Jorvia's posts or anyone else here as insults. People can disagree without it being an insult. In general, more often than not, I disagree with Jorvia's comments posted here, which includes her views on sah. Unlike you, I just don't have the time to go through the Archives to quote her. I will defer to you then and assume she has never once (except for her response to the man) on sah despite that being the general theme of this particular debate board. How that can be, I just don't know.
And as for my having a "bias" against Jorvia, I'd love to hear what you think that is. What is my bias?
I truly respect Jorvia's position as trial partner in a big Manhattan firm. SUch jobs are demanding and usually offered to men. Litigation in the courts of Manhattan and the other boroughs is a different animal than any other job a person could possibly have. I thoroughly enjoyed the trials. I can imagine Jorvia shares the same opinion about litigation. I was not insulted by Jorvia saying my response was indicative of the reason I quit being a lawyer. I chuckled, she's entitled to get in a jab. I know why I am no longer a trial atty in Manhattan whose salary was close to $200K. I'm sure she knows too. That's the beauty of debate!
You must really suck at research.
I've certainly commented on individual SAH situations (just as I've commented on numerous WOH and WAH situations), but never on SAH generally. Since you've no doubt followed H&I's posts and found the original by now, I'm sure you'll agree that there was much more to the OP to which I was responding than you've described in your post immediately above. Under the circumstances he described, he was being used.

No...I quite think I wasn't in error in calling you on insulting jorvia and others on this thread and other threads...what else would you exactly call it then?

I don't know how many times you need to hear this: people on a debate board are permitted to disagree with each other. Disagreement does not equate with insulting. You will concede you are a much more sensitive person than I? I will, if that helps you.
You allege I've been name-calling and insulting OTHERS - not even you. WHy aren't these other debaters complaining that they were insulted? Doesn't that tell you something? If no one else was insulted, why do you worry about such things? There are more meaningful, substantive discussions going on. It's time to get to them and call it a day on this debate.
