You wrote:
"Did Hayek, whose voluptuous eat-me-up body is displayed nude on the big 
screen at every possible opportunity, object to having one of her legs be 
"withered" by reality? For truly Frida's right leg was smaller than her left."

That you called her a bimbo was not surprising at all, given this claim. 
The reason I started this with you is because Thomas Seay couldn't see why 
we were on your case. I spelled it out: you blamed Hayek for the erasure of 
the withered leg and, as you suggest above, it's because she has a 
"voluptuous eat-me-up body".

I called bullshit and provided reasons why.
