I would like to suggest that perhaps there are times when we
might benefit from listening to the MEANING behind what a
person is saying, rather than nit-picking over their choice of
words.

All this got started by Tony's request that Ormondtoby explain
something to him so he would better understand it. He wanted
to understand, and he wasn't sure he did, so he asked for a better
explanation. He happened to use a word that some people find
offensive but he did a very good job of getting his point across,
which was (to me anyway) that he doesn't give a sh*t if there are
people who object to off-topic posts; there are some off-topic
posts that are worth discussing.

If you don't want to be part of a discussion, don't. If you don't
like the list the way it is, then unsubscribe. It's not going to change.

Sue
