pink taco

[Sam Clements]

To quote you in a post from less than a month ago---------

"I have never suggested that anyone should go away. My theme has
consistently been to request that people not treat the list as if it were a
conversation space where anyone could feel free to report any mindless thing
that happened to pop into their minds and report on every mistake or strange
(to them) turn of phrase that they happen to see in seemingly endless hours
of watching TV or listening to public radio."

Why is your asking for moral opinions of a phrase NOT in the categories
which you disparage above?
