re: #552 Walter L. Newton

Well guess what. I wasn’t the only one to read it that way. I’m not sure what “fat,” “lesbian” and some of the other tacky slams had to do with the actual situation.

Yep, funny how we accept certain terms and ways of describing people, funny how we don’t see that as demeaning, funny… NOT.

If my neighbor happens to be a fat lesbian, then describing her as such in a forum where she can’t possibly be hurt by it is just being realistic. Or do we have to be PC about everybody and everything now?

OK, I’m a circumferentially challenged person of low hair density significantly affected by the passage of time whose intestines are occasionally prone to the expulsion of unpleasant gasses.

Or you could just say I’m a fat, bald old fart.
