>>>"When women say that calling them babe is really disliked and insulting to them then you don't respect there feelings. And when you don't respect there feelings it really says you don't give a damn about them."
And do tell...."WHEN" exactly have any of the classical musicians complained about Chris calling them "babe musicians?"

He does admit to never calling Babe directly to there face. Why?

Well you see, my relationship with our local babe musicians is on a professional (not friendly, not social) basis (even though the professional relationship can eventually become very friendly indeed - I could tell you stories!). I don't call these girls/women "babes" to their faces (even though I don't think anything is wrong with that) for the same reason I don't call the guys I work with "boy-babes" or "hunks". It's just not correct in a professional situation. Another example might be bank tellers, who don't call their customers who walk up to the window "babes" or "hunks" either! ;-)Moreover, as one poster (sorry, I forget who) has already stated, certain terminology is fine when one is writing, while it's more restricted when one is interacting professionally. I'm about to post on a topic which might illustrate this difference.
EDIT: I just deleted that subsequent post, having decided it really serves no useful purpose and just might get people riled up again. ;-)

What does that have to do with my question? You seem to be all worked up over a nonexistent issue.
As I note in my post above, I've told my own wife she's a babe.
What I want to know is why this seems to be such a hot button issue for you. I never seen you post with more emotion about any other topic. Did you possibly have a traumatic experience when some woman was called a babe and she didn't like it? IOW, I'd like to know your experience(s) on this subject too.
No issues. With all the politics going on and so much meaness, bigotry and racism being spued all over the airwaves it would be nice to have a discussion group where that doesn't happen. I am extremely passionate about music, audio equipment and table tennis so I just want this to be a fun place to come to.

In other online discussion forums there is a banned behavior called 'thread crapping.'
This is when people who have no interest in the thread topic make negative posts and ruin the enjoyment of the thread participants who enjoy discussing whatever the thread topic is. When people 'thread crap' the forum moderators issue a warning to them and if they persist they are banned from further posting.
Needless to say, if such a rule existed here, most if not all of the anti-babers would no longer be allowed to post.
Forum members who enjoy participating in 'babe musician' threads should be allowed to do so peacefully without coming under attack from the anti-babe contingent, and maybe the forum moderators could ensure that that happens.
