[Callers] Fwd: Advice about "gypsy"

[Amy Wimmer via Callers]

To clarify, when I taught the gypsy I said something very close to:
"this is a flirty move." I said nothing about sex, or that the move
was imitating or representative of anyone or anything. I regret using
that short sentence more than you can imagine. That the writer thought
"it became clear that...." etc., was all in this person's perceptions
- not based on reality.
