It really warms my heart to see a message using the word "dissing" on a board
for professional writers. That takes some guts. And it speaks to the dynamic
nature of the language. Way to go, Miki.
And I agree wholeheartedly. Preferences are just that--value judgements based
on individuals' tastes.

"The ultimate question of whose values should be enforced, framed in
terms of what a substantial or compelling state interest really is, would
pose the hardest possible question for the courts, as majority and
minority interests resoundingly clash." -Dean v. Dist. of Columbia (1995)
