>>You make my point.<< Karen - I believe I understood your point about the Hummer posts. It wasn't about those posts specifically, and you weren't criticizing Steve and me for making them. You were demonstrating that offensiveness is in the mind of the offended. If I made a statement like "All Irish people are idiots," that would be considered offensive by a larger number of people than my statements about Hummer owners have been. But that doesn't mean that there is no way to construe the Hummer comments as being offensive. Have I understood you correctly? - Allen
