Jesus Christ! (oops, can't say that without the possibility of offending someone...henceforth abbreviated to: CSTWTPOOS). People (CSTWTPOOS), errr, humans (oops, CSTWTPOOS, it has "man" in it). I should start again. Homo sapiens (Darn! CSTWTPOOS, has the letters, "homo" in it). OK, upright-walking sentient beings (hopefully not offending PETA's interests) need to get a grip! No (apologize for the use of a negative word), they need to come up for AIR once in a while. When did everyone become so thin-skinned (apologies to those creatures having no skin, those people whose skin is thick, those whose skin is a different color, and those whose skin has blemishes, has been burned, or otherwise different from the skin of others)? Isn't there a lot more to be concerned with in this world (apologies to those from other worlds) than petty references and conotations (no insult intended for cons who are taking notations)? Let's see (CSTWTPOOS, hmmm, some people can't see). Let me rephrase. Handicapped. NO! The word should be, "handi-capable". NO! That is passe' (no insult to the French, hopefully). How about, "disabled"? Hmmmm...perhaps that word is acceptable now. But for how long? Or, perhaps I am just behind the times. Maybe there already is another word and using "disabled" is an incredible insult now. I'm an ugly (handsome-impaired), skinny (substitute appropriate politically-correct term if you must), balding (folicaly-impaired), old (mature) man (CSTWTPOOS...errr, person...oops, there are those pesky letters, "s-o-n") who is sometimes opinionated. And sometimes, wrong. But, until having an opinion and being able to express it also becomes too offensive to continue its practice, I will do so. Learn (apologies to the learning-impaired) to understand when an upright-walking sentient being (walking on the edge here, I know) says something in a derogatory mannner and when it's intended to be an insult! I don't think Anton had ANY intentions of insulting anyone with his message/suggestion to take a look at his "Gypsy/Genie" work. He was just trying to be helpful. I talked with him at Dragon*Con (no insult to cons) and it seems he spends every waking moment in model design. He researches much more than I would have ever thought. I'm not even sure he has any time left for a social life. And a lot of his work is for sale at an incredibly LOW price! Sheesh! (There! "Sheesh" might not offend anyone)
