OT: Cindy, I am just curious why you and Ellen started calling Janice "Butch". Is that supposed to be an offensive term? If not, why not? Thanks. Here are a few samples of a few dozen posts with the word "Butch" in them: From you, Cindy: ...thank you from the bottom of my heart Janice, (or shall I call you "Butch?") #reply-7901808 From Ellen: Thanks for your input Butch. #reply-7903300 Butch & all, thought you guys might find this interesting. #reply-7916282 - Jeff P.S. Important note: I'm not asking you if you were or were not provoked. We could argue that forever. I was just wondering about your choice of words.
