Hmm, you might take a look at the tone of your own posts, man. Chill the hell out...

Perhaps I am one of the "easily offended few," (actually, it takes a lot to offend me, but someone screaming bloody murder on an otherwise civil thread does raise my hackles). Even if I disagree with some of what he says, I respect Strange Famous' balanced, more unemotional tone a hell of a lot more than what I sense is your defensive, yelling, cussing-out diatribe that has no place on TFP. If you could make your point with a less-offensive tone, I'd be a lot more convinced by your argument. Your attitude offends me more than any "language" you might use to convey it, PC or not.

To me, that's the point of being careful with language... not whether or not you use "man" or "black," but to try not to hurt people with the attitude behind it.

EDIT: I just realized how old the OP was on this thread... so maybe Stare at the Sun won't even see it. But I still stand behind my point.
