I've been browsing thru this list for about a week now and NEVER have
I seen so many people jump on someone for a comment addressed to
someone else. If the person it was originally addressed to took
exception to the comment, then vent your opinions. Otherwise, why
are you all so quick to take offense at a comment not directed to
you? That maybe wasn't even meant offensively in the first place?
Are some of you looking that hard for POSSIBLY offensive comments to
make an issue about? Lighten up! Not every comment that isn't
straight as an arrow is meant offensively.
