in social.
I don't see a thing uncivil about saying I prefer one term over another.
If one is to say "Pro-life" about those who disagree with a woman's right to choose abortion, that makes those who think a woman should have the right to choose "Anti-life".
Pro-choice and anti-choice are more respectful terms.
This is a long-standing debate, and if I offended GG, I would be astonished.

Just to be clear here, as I posted to you on Social, I was not offended at all. And shoot, I just posted that I agreed with you. Might not stay a PBC "virgin" for long. D'oh!

THanks I saw your response on social.
So glad I didn't offend you, and hope no one else was offended. I really prefer to offend when I am trying to be offensive, not inadvertently. It's so much more satisfying.
What is "PBC" Psychobabble ... coquette? Concubine? Cutiepie? Clutch? (A psychobabble clutch would be a sort of wacky handbag, wouldn't it?) Dunno ... do tell.
And "D'oh" - what's that?

Amen to that, especially if you get dinged.

LOL, it's Please Be Civil...to the best of my knowledge, I haven't received one of those. If I have, I've repressed it. ;-)

I guess this adds new meaning to "Define your terms".
