Actually, I thought the whole point was just to have a silly debate (the 
kind I enjoy most on TIPS), and I'm dismayed to read that it's evolved 
into self-flagellation (is this even legal down where you are, Tim?) and 
anger. The same thing unfortunately appears to have happened with my 
innocently-posed "Who's Jew" item. And come to think of it, a few years 
back I recall receiving some rather pointed comments when I repeated a 
Foxworthy-type comment before I even knew who Foxworthy was. 

Wow!  Don't mess with Southerners, eh?
