Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 3296459, member: 44"] The first thread was, appropriately, locked until there was more news. Here's Calhoun's response: Typical feisty Jim: [I]“I am angry and hurt that the reputation that I’ve worked so hard to achieve for over 50 years — actually, for more than 77 years — was so easily dismissed and thrown aside in return for headlines or eyeballs or whatever the appropriate term is here,” Calhoun said in his statement. “[B]And I’m especially angry that my career and my name are being used for legal grandstanding instead of in support of the victims of discrimination.” [/B][/I] This answer is exactly was I suspected was case. It seemed like a reach in the complaint: “I[I]’m not sure when asking a colleague if they would mind opening the door because my hands were full became discrimination or when self-deprecation for being an aging, clumsy husband became an insult,” Calhoun said directly in response to the allegations. [/I] Likewise "hot" seemed generationally unlikely: [I]“And call me old-fashioned in this regard ... I use the word ‘hot’ to describe the weather and the temperature of my morning coffee,” he continued. “And the only woman I openly compliment is my wife of 53 years and frankly, I call her ‘beautiful’ or ‘pretty’...because she is.” [/I] For those who were quick to assume the accusations were accurate, consider these answers and think about which seem more likely.
