not having been involved in the entire ordeal, if you want to call it that, its hard to say much...should just keep my mouth shut. it appears to me the offending thing is the feeling, or fact?, that the TOS allows denigration of women by virtue of the fact there are no rules governing what terms can be used to describe certain body parts ??? Then a bunch of folks object to the term used, and the admins dismissed them in a rude manner. I'm sorry....I am trying to understand this because it involves folks I've developemd relations with over time in this and other communities.... However, this does sound status quo with the way things are handled, or mishandles around here for quite some time. Sensitivity to member's interests is important, but white washing reality seems to be a bit much as well, however, certain phrases and perceived sterotypes will not go away if something is not done to end it. I think as a society we have not moved very far, in considering other's feelings and needs. Political correctness may not be exactly the correct term. It is more in line with respect and sensitivity to one's brothers and sisters. In handling situations such as this, I think it important for all parties involved to remain tational and respect each ohter's views and feelings. Rudeness or curtly dismissing an individuals feelings is simply wrong.
