Your post reminds me of this new law they're trying to pass in Russia - where theaters can now face fines for "offending the feelings" of audience members. I don't know who all of a sudden decided that the b-word was an insult, but I think that this type of "hurt feelings" attitude reveals a refusal to deal with actual IMPORTANT issues in favor of more superficial forms of putative disparagement. Do you seriously think that the musicians I refer to as "babes" give two cents about my posts? I'll tell you, when actual babes start complaining to me about being called babes, then I would certainly take the complaint seriously. Right now, it's a situation where others pompously and egotistically step in to get offended on the babes' behalf - it's absurd!
BTW, sorry that my mail is blocked here - sometimes this site defaults to that state. I'll change it in another couple of minutes.
