. . . seem awfully passionate about the subject, and I respect that. ;-)
Not everyone sees all the layers of humor in your posts
You don't respect that because if you did you would stop. Maybe you were brought up to disrespect women and that is what you continue to do.

As far as respect goes, I've seen a number of posts on these babe musician threads where posters exhibit a shoot from the hip attitude to the effect that if the performers are photogenic, then their interpretations can't possibly be any good - that somehow, they must have gotten their recording contracts just by virtue of their physical attractiveness. As a listener here who has ACTUALLY HEARD these babe-musician recordings, I'm often in a position to point out the scurrilous nature of these anti-babe posts - which I'm proud to do. Respect indeed!
I didn't complain about your "babe" posts, and I'm still not. But if you keep making them, you've got to accept the inevitable responses like a mensch (pardon the colloquialism). Comes with the territory.
One poster above was pointing out the number of your copiously illustrated babe posts, which he apparently feels is unduly large, and a second was saying you weren't being sufficiently respectful of women. Neither was saying the babes themselves weren't worthy musicians. I don't necessarily agree with them, but it seems like you're getting your nose out of joint over nothing. As you just said, "talk about irony!" It runs both ways.

. . . with the somewhat hysterical responses of the offendees (confederate flag, kiddie porn, etc.), and then determine who is getting their noses out of joint. There might be some irony that runs both ways, but to say that it's equivalent on both sides is clearly unfair.
Really, anyone who is willing and able to perform the piano reduction of the Nielsen flute concerto, on short notice no less, has my respect and admiration. But I'll have to pass on your suggestion that I reread the posts in this thread. I'm not sure what I gained by reading them the first time. ;)
You really believe you are on the correct side of this issue. What is stopping you from simply saying I see the point of view that I am insulting women and not wanting to do that I will stop the babe posts. Even some southerners have seen how hurtful the confederate flag is and are taking it down. Do the same

What world do you live in?What is stopping you from simply saying I see the point of view that I am insulting women and not wanting to do that I will stop the babe posts.
I do see your point of view and I see that it's political correctness run amok! But perhaps as a temporary expedient (so as not to offend delicate sensibilities), I 'll use the term "snowflake violinist" (formerly known as babe violinist).
You have a degree of arrogance in flattering yourself that you speak for all women.
