re: #432 windsagio

I forgot the SP on that very issue (which was a LITTLE heavy-handed, but brilliant :D). I was thinking of the earlier dust-up over “retard”.

Same thing tho’… how do you let the shift happen while still protecting the insulted parties from harm (harm in the loosest terms)?

It helps if “we” (we being the insulted party) aren’t assholes about it.

I’ve had several drunken conversations with good ol’ boys explaining that they are tired of feeling guilty for stuff they didn’t mean, and my way of handling such situations helped them “over” the issue. “My way” being near total indifference as long as the air is cleared at some point.
