We could make a list ... Gringo is in. Ichy is out. The 'D' word is in. It goes on and on. Just don't ban "legalist"....I like it a lot, as you know.  You're cool.

...But what is offensive to one is not to another. The bottom line is that if it offends someone ... then it should be stopped and an apology made... ...And the easily offended take control by taking offense at anything with which they disagree or at the point they need an excuse to derail the conversation that isn't going so well to their interests or point of view. Let's just end all our posts with an automatic apology to cover our bases... Sorry to have offended anyone, Tom

OK, (slightly TIC) - I find it offensive when someone constantly drags up the ancient past.  Hmmm. You miss the point of the response. Could it be that you are focused on the past?

But it does bring up a good concern. But, I think that my post to which this comment was referring to is still valid to some degree but perhaps not always. Yes, there are some unreasonable whiners. But perhaps if in doubt you could post the name calling name that was used and ask the rest of us. On second thought .... send it to me ... I don't trust the others from ancient history. But I do trust myself.

I have a suggestion....could we all just stop this silly whining, "I'm offended-I find that offending-your offending", and on and on! I find this whole topic offending, reminds me of my grandkids,"mommy she did this-no, she did that", and on and on! What ever is said, can be and will be, by someone, found offensive! It's called, changing the subject, we're not going to talk about the subject but how it was written! When one is put on the spot, a favorite defense....of some...of many? (Sorry if this offends anyone, snif,snif. I'll just take my ball and go home) ( (  , so there! )

simply because one man's (and, sadly, it's almost always men) abuse is another man's 'straight truthtelling' or whatever. Why is it 99.9% of the time, men?

I think it's because of the differences between the male and female brain and the resulting hormonal differences. Females are far more into other peoples feelings and tend to be protective and nurturing. Males, by contrast, are more into control and imposing their will.
