Oddipus and Lou and I feel one way, most of the rest of you feel another way. That's fine. I actually believe that political correctness is overdone. But I still find myself uncomfortable with jokes about groups. As I've said, you're free to tell me I have no sense of humor.
I just hope that you understand and respect why we feel differently. And it's bound to come up again. If there are midget throwing threads, or redneck threads, or ethnic minority threads, I'm likely to say something. I don't feel like you have to agree with me, but I have to say something.
And I know no one meant to belittle Oddipus Rex's feelings. Perhaps it would be kind of everyone to reassure Rex of that.
