So you are saying that you did not know that you were discussing an actual person with feelings?
Well ignorance is not an excuse. Wait, where have I heard that before?
On this thread I have been described as:
dense
offensive
disgusting
appalling
inhumane
lazy
dumb***
ignorant
not that bright
And *I* am the offensive one?
Really, why should I care what any of you think about me or my word choices when you treat me with so little respect?
I do apologise to Kathy, who did point out the faux pas, because she was tactful in the way she did it and has been nothing but positive and fair ever since. I made a mental note it and did not use the term again. I didn't awknowledge it then because I was annoyed that it hijacked my thread, a thread where I was really hoping for some support and not a debate over my language. Seems like the later gets a lot more attention around here.
You know, you choose your attitude. If you want to get all worked up over a word taken out of context, that is your perogative. Your negative attitude does not define me.
