> Dr. Bob said he doesn't personally find it offensive either. I'm not quite sure what that means. Or who he's trying not to offend.
I know. I think it is about Mirriam Webster and what they consider to be offensive. But if nobody finds it offensive here, then I see no reason why we shouldn't be allowed to say it. I figure people are protesting against this 'unresonable' rule (in the sense that nobody can figure out the reason for it) in inappropriate ways sometimes.
I figure it may be appropriate to have a poll. If nobody here finds it offensive then the issue becomes why we don't get some say in this issue.
