When I was essentially told, "Who cares about these posts" I wasn't called an idiot, moron, or something unmentionable in front of the young-uns. To me, that speaks volumes of the level of decorum (and maturity!) here.
Sure, the rejection that markbot sent stung a bit - but it only stung relative to what goes on around here. Other places, I would have launched a flame attack in my defence and everyone would have heaped on the ad-hominems to both of us. I've seen threads get out-of-hand here, and they should be shut down, but here, I think it's mild. 
tl;dr - I think it's all good.

here here! indeed! I have been contemplating starting a post in the lounge regarding the overly pc driven corrections we have been getting of late (not just this one). a little good debate is healthy! I'm not advocating flamewars, but making us all whitebread cookiecutter ereaders is not good either!
