Well that where you and I disagree. I think the request was very approriate. It doesn't matter if the request was made for professional or personal reasons. The request was made and should be honored. Continuing the discussion to attempt to figure why the person made the request is in itself being disrespectfull.
This is A professional list. Be courteous and be respectfull. This is my last response to this thread and it should be left to die.

However, I beleive the reaction was disproportionate to the offense. I was slightly offended by the expletive in the joke before mine; yes, I use those words as much as the next guy but dislike reading or hearing them in certain contexts. I read the joke, didn't like it, and ignored it. As you aptly point out there are people from various cultures, religions and walks of life on this board. What offends some won't offend others. Is it any more correct for one or two people who are offended to protest so publicly while many on the list may not have found the posting objectionable or may have but said nothing? IMHO, the proper response is to ignore the offending post. And, if you wish to take it to the next level, ignore the poster. That's all. Sorry I'm keeping this thread alive. I'll get down off the soapbox now and get back to ARS topics. J.T.
