No subject

[joxy]

Thanks to those who have explained this weird and wonderful take-over
of the word "ship"!
In pointing out the offence I did not, of course, make any claim, or
suggestion, that there was any intention of giving offence. Quite the
reverse: I could understand people not being aware of the offence they
cause, and my purpose was to state its existence.
My hopes that there would be no more comments on the subject were just
that, hopes, not requests or demands.
I may have been at fault in not actually explaining for what reasons
the comments of this nature give offence, to all gay people. I had
hoped, again, that it would not be necessary to patronise people by
expounding the reasons - and I still desist from doing so, and leave
the "offenders" to work them out for themselves!
I might not have come back at all on this one, but I had to anyway.
What's this about "slash"? Don't you know what a "slash movie" really
is? Now there's true offence!
