Wendy, I agree with you.  I find it a bit sad that people do not see
why that would be sensitive to say even though the term technically
does not offend anyone person on the site.  It should not be used
flippantly, in my opinion, when "muggle-born" is a much nicer word to
use and does not carry the baggage of "mudblood".  Can we make an
appeal on the main site to not use "mudblood" in vain?

But then again, maybe I too am taking HP too seriously.  But then
again, don't we all?
