Reply #49: No problem.... But, that goes for the misogynistic posts too.

Heterosexual women referred to as "breeders." Not to mention some of the horrible comments about the black woman who has reported rape at the hands of Duke athletes.... While we do not yet know the veracity of her claims, assuming she was NOT raped because she was a stripper only underscores the usual insinuation that women were "asking for it."

Similarly, I've seen the most nasty things posted about "fat people," "religious people" (and yes ALL religion lumped with the RW fundie nuts), not to mention those who think it appropriate to post Fred Phelp's extreme hate speech against gays in thread subject lines (without quotes), just to be "provocative!"

I think there are many issues that should elicit a bit more sensitive attitude than what we sometimes see on this-- the hallmark of progressive forums. 94114_San_Francisco, I agree with you. You will undoubtedly be accused of being the PC patrol. Goes with the territory, I guess.
