I think the matter may be more about hyper-sensitivity rather than insensitivity. With a list this size, people are going to occasionally step on one another's toes since we are here to DISCUSS, meaning that opinions of all shapes, sizes and colours are flying back and forth. Not all of them will meet with everyone's approval, nor should they. Life's way too short to be PC and homogenous, not meaning to offend people who feel life should be that way! Ahem... We're also dealing with a very grey form of communication. Writing conversationally via e-mail often causes misunderstandings and hurt feelings because tone of voice, facial expression and body language are absent. While I haven't agreed with everything that everyone posts, I think there is a healthy respect for everyone on board. If something offends you, take it with a dose of salt and move on - it's not life or death and it isn't even a matter of personal attack, just differences of opinion about all kinds of topics. Remember this is just a group of people who like the same artist, not a workshop on how to offend people or how best to please every individual. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and while tact and foresight are hopefully components of each post, it is not anyone's duty to please anyone else with their thoughts. In fact, it's often more exciting to incite debate and discussion about controversial matters, like smoking versus non smoking, ambitious or unambitious Canadian voices, fags, homosexuals and cigarettes. Just don't take it so personally. And if someone does get personal with you, take it off list and give them hell. "Throwin' the lightness on these things, laughin' it all the way," -Andrew Yahoo!
