Friends, I want you to know that my staff and I receive and review all your messages and as many comments as we can, and we take seriously those that say I should take something down because it is offensive. In the past day, my posts about Voldemort (being like a teenage girl), red-heads (gaining a freckle for every soul they steal), and one-night stands have each gathered their fare share of well-intentioned complaints. Were we to focus on who we might offend and not the general humor of things, nothing at all might pass muster. So if those kinds of posts offend you, speak your mind in the comments and continue to write letters in. With a few cases, we have seen the merits of the argument and actually taken down and apologized for inadvertent offense. But its impossible to satisfy everyone, so if you find this page is not for you because we poke a bit of good-hearted fun at everyone (yes, including gays and Asians) then simply dont follow it. I hope though that you understand, however, that its okay to express concern (please dont bash those that do--remember, humor is going to rub at least 1% wrong if its any good), and that the best response is more engagement rather than less. With thanks-- Uncle George
