<pre wrap="">I really don't think this is what is mostly being discussed. That's how it started, sure, but the original issue raised a lot of other issues, such as:
*) is it acceptable to offer an opinion about wording when it makes you or could make others uncomfortable?
*) is it acceptable to respond to such suggestions with rudeness and insults?
*) is it acceptable to continue talking about this matter when a substantial number of the list is apparently sick of it?
*) is it acceptable to _stop_ talking about this matter when a substantial number of the list feel that the issues raised are important, but the issues have not been resolved?
It is the second point, I think, that the people wishing to continue the discussion feel the strongest about. That's why we've had a member and a potential member walk out on us, too. Not very many people agree with Daniel about the original issue, but a lot of them do agree that he shouldn't have recieved the treatment he has.
