Re: OT-equality, not reversed

I don't feel I'm overly sensitive to derogatory language. However in
print, on a public forum, I think it would be more considerate to use
terms like "the 'b' word" as originally stated by the person who brought
it up. And if it has to continue further, perhaps just "p....". If
someone doesn't know what the writer means and really wants to know they
can write privately and ask.

I'd think calling a man a "prick" is the same as calling a woman a
"bitch".
Just my humble opinion of cuss words in the insulting category.   ;^)
