I don't recall ever seeing you castigate, take to task, or even simply chastise a lefty for their language. Yes, I know how observant you are. And you have a good memory, too. Better than mine. So if your memory can dredge up one example of where I've done that to a righty, I'd appreciate the reminder. I doubt there is one. I'm not that prissy. Since the inception of this thread, there have been three instances where my nasty-o-meter registered red. The first was some posts ridiculing the party whose name we can no longer mention on this thread. That one was taken care of rather quickly. The second was posters ganging up on X to ridicule and ostracize her. That one is is probably moot. And the third was the business of the header change last week. I have no idea where that stands. I considered all three to be below the belt and I said so. None of them had anything to do with language or political preference. Karen

I don't recall ever seeing you castigate, take to task, or even simply chastise a lefty for their language. I realized after that fact that I made the wrong response to this point of yours. This discussion has gone on too long already and a show-me-the-post approach is unhelpful. Maybe I have been uneven, maybe not. I think a better response is to ask why it matters to you if, in the course of my informal attempts to affect thread hygiene, I don't bother to equalize my comments to left and right wing posters?
