This is derived from discussions of EAA Corp. adertising in the Pistolcraft forum...
Where would you draw the line between being sensitive to others' views and not backing off your own views? In that other forum, some people thought that sexist advertising is pert of life and mostly harmless or even effective, others thought it turned people away from our camp.
We have brought up many subjects where some people wanted to use whatever terms they liked, esp. if those terms made good sound bytes -- and ,when advised to moderate their language, got upset and charged others with caving in to political correctness.
So, just how important/not is the issue? When a question is asked and we use metaphores and hyperboles to answer, does it make for more interesting communication or merely unclear?
I am not articulating the question well, maybe someone can re-state it better...
