[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]The main goal of today's Republicans is not to create public policy, but to "own the libs". Distorting the name of our party may make them sound like toothless illiterates, but it gets our goat (or so they believe). That's a fair exchange as far as they are concerned.

I have never understood why they think this is insulting. It's mostly puzzling and little bit dumb. I don't know any Democrat who feels at all bothered or insulted by it. [/quote]

now you know one. it bothers me. [/quote]

Really? Why does it bother you?

Imagine we are 13 years old, and your name is Susan. Except every day I say "Hi Suzanne!" when I see you, then look at my friends and laugh. When you say, "That's not my name," I say, "Oh, but Suzanne is such a pretty name" then my friends and I laugh some more.

I believe the kids call this a "microaggression" - it's basically just irritating and dumb. But moreover anyone who says it is outed as being some kind of moron Trump supporter, so at least there's that.[/quote]

Pretty much this- it is similar to my MIL misspelling my name (and my name is common and a common spelling)- she does not like me and does this on purpose. It’s just a subtle dig that if you call out you will be accused of being “sensitive” or similar. [/quote]

My SIL refused to use "aunt" to refer to me when talking to her kids, though she always referred to her brother as "uncle X." Petty knew no bottom....[/quote]
