Well... this has, as I believe Engineer might've been eluding, become quite the mountainous molehill. I for one know I was raised to hold in high regard certain things that others may find dubious, some of which I now find the same. But I've done a good deal of work (which will never be finished) in order to scrape myself of habits of elitism. And all the while as I scour, more and more opportunities for prejudiced behavior present themselves. But to bemoan as "inexcusable" and "unforgivable" the things people do that are in fact excusable and forgivable does seem to me a little elitist.
OT for a moment...

THAT, to me, is inexcusable. And the fact that it continues on indicates to me exactly what will come from most of the posturing and pandering about respect and decency toward others.
