Quite the contrary - I referred to the manner in which the term was used, which was not a statement originally made by Susan Miracle herself. She was simply being the messenger, in this case, of a statement which was made - not by her - and the purpose of which could have only been regarded as a hateful remark. I thought this was obvious, as her name was already made public by her original post, and the subsequent post, which I responded to. Everyone's name is made public on the list, as required by list policy, so there is really nothing to hide. If anyone else interpreted this in the same manner as Britt Robson, please accept my apologies.

TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait. 2. If you don't like what's being discussed here, don't complain - change the subject (Mpls-specific, of course.) ________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Un-subscribe, etc. at: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
