Please quit the rabid accusation of cultural

the people of this community are basically "culture warriors", most of whom
I am sure are very keen to be respectful, who basically walk on cultural
eggshells in a concerted effort to be inclusive and non-alienating. And
why? THEY KNOW THAT CULTURAL EXCHANGE IS IMPORTANT.
Sorry, but to me the only thing rabid, incendiary or ugly in this
thread is the idea that naming power relationships is somehow itself
rabid, incendiary, or ugly. This is the "she who smelt it dealt it"
theory of sociology, and in my experience it only serves to silence
marginalized people.
