Particularly with the (yes, admittedly later) equating "politically correct" with "vapid and prudish." See, I'm not fond of political correctness for its own sake. But I think there are other, more valid reasons to be offended that might be misconstrued. Like I said earlier, my wife's an art director. She has strong negative feelings about art such as that as Avalanche uses for their covers, on both personal and professional levels. (She's refused to read a book I wrote because she finds the layout sloppy, to give you another anecdote. Oy.) And yet she'll gladly buy art with full frontal nudity for a book if it meets her professional (and I suppose personal) standards. She doesn't give a fig for "political correctness," but she still has the right to disapprove of things that are also not politically correct. The "also" is just more of a coincidence than the actual reason, you know?  Actually, all we'd have to do is get "politically correct" formally recognized as a swear, and then Eric's Grandmother could do the policing.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />(PS: Wizardru, I love your sig file.
