Chris,

Thanks for the moderation/clarification. Sometimes e-mail juist has that way
of displacing tone and vocal inflection... go figure. =D

Actually, your comment is inappropriate:

1. What you found offensive in Edward's post is exactly what he is
questioning. In other words, he also found the phrase alarming and is
asking whether the post is legitimate. Because he had the same reaction
as you, you've chosen to personally attack him. Personal attacks are not
tolerated here.

2. Your generalization is exactly the type of offensive remark that you
mistakenly thought Edward had made. This is blatant hypocrisy and a step
(or several steps) in the wrong direction.

For the record, "Stitch and Bitch" seems legitimate:

http://www.sewfastseweasy.com/stitch.html

Most of the people there (mostly women) seem to "get it" and realize
that it's an informal, funny reference to sewing and chatting.

Chris
