Labelling others isn't about humor. It's about power. It is saying: "I'm strong enough to re-name you."
It's about creating a convenient way to demonstrate one's hatred towards another

NO no no.. I am not letting this go, it portrays the wrong message and it misconstrues my purpose and intention.
Let's be clear. Nobody hates anyone. .well at least that applies to me.
Buttsnuffler was coined elsewhere and long ago. I know what it was meant for.. and agree it could be deemed offensive.
But the E***p**r? Means royalty, right? So far, I can't see the offense.
The REASON it ever came up is that SOME OF US (and all EWS members) were tired of YELLING at our computers after "certain persons" insisted on repeating OVER AND OVER AND OVER the same platitudes that were just plain WRONG.
Someone has to take "certain persons" to task who announce themselves as Umpire Royalty, self described experts, and then announce as FACTS things that simply are not true.
It is an accurate application of the Grimm Fairy Tale. It is simply exposure of falsehoods, removing the wool from the eyes, and whatever other metaphor you would like.
AS a gift to all, I present the following link... ENJOY
