In Reply to: I don't find the term demaning, so. . . not likely [nt] posted by Chris from Lafayette on August 5, 2012 at 09:14:06:
use of the term babe in this context seems uncivil. It isn't funny at all, and somehow it doesn't show much respect for this woman whose life has ended so shockingly.
Any other time, you can make your little joke and we might enjoy it.
