I think you should qualify your opinion as just that, Greg.

Sondra voiced a strong opinion about Nic Jones' CD, and has (more or less) called it a legitimate criticism. It is your opinion that her criticism isn't legitimate, but an insult. I don't see any intention to insult Nic in her posts, but that's me. I see her moral outrage being expressed. There is a distinct difference, in my humble opinion.

You are posting your opinions, just as Sondra is, and yours is no more true or right than hers. Of course you have a right to register objections to personal insults. But I think you need to be on more steady ground about what constitutes legitimate criticism, and what constitutes a personal insult.

Others have agreed with Sondra that the cover art is offensive. No one else is suggesting that her saying that should be interpreted as a personal insult.

I think we all agree it is a serious topic, and I expect that anyone reading this thread has an interest in it of one sort or another. And an opinion on it too. ;-)
