It's depressingly commonplace on this list to see any infringment of
bigotry, ignorance, or any call to linguistic consideration  immediately
characterized as "politically correct."  I just don't get it, and I wonder
how many would-be contributors simply decline to join the conversation for
this reason.  Really, do we *want* to sound like those drunken louts at the
end of the bar?
