Pete Buttigieg and his family deserve to have their name spelled correctly. SunSeeker Sep 2021 #43
They deserve to have their status as a family respected even more n/t kcr Sep 2021 #47
Who is disrespecting their status as a family? SunSeeker Sep 2021 #50
Why the need to "correct" their announcement? kcr Sep 2021 #54
It was the OP who "corrected" the announcement. SunSeeker Sep 2021 #56
Well, now, I don't know kcr Sep 2021 #58
The OP should have used the wording Pete used. SunSeeker Sep 2021 #59
