Defining what someone else's standard of sensitivity should be is a slippery slope. I wouldn't dream of it. People are entitled to their own sensitivities. Which is why I favor reprimanding only attacks, not perceived insults from criticism. Then relative sensitivity is not an issue. Otherwise you are reducing the discussion to the lowest common denominator in terms of skin depth, in which case anyone could cry insult at any time and no one could anticipate who might find offense. Discussion in that scenario is limited to endless delegate counts. <g> Or, you can cater to the sensitivity of some while you dis Hummer owners and other unfavored players with abandon, which is not even handed. And people get mad at you. Just sayin'...
