Yes, but I also said, "it's a bigger issue than just them and impacts more than just them when he's announcing it on a public stage in front of thousands."
If others aren't offended it's their perfect right to say so, just as I stated my opinion. I didn't say that I expected Adam to adhere to my social standards or that I expect (or desire) in any way to dictate his actions or the way he expresses himself. I said that if he used the term again that I'd vehemently voice my objection to it. But I lied, and didn't wait that long.
Adam is the only one who can control what he says and does. Maybe he will consider other people's thoughts on the matter and drop the new name if he feels there's any merit to their views.
I wasn't offended by what he said (Adam has never offended me) so by the same token that you will vehemently voice your objection to it I will vehemently defend Adam's right to say and do whatever he wants.
I guess my question is why does Adam need to consider the thoughts and feelings of thousands of people over a nickname coined for his back up singers if in fact his back up singers have no issue with the nickname?
Adam can't take into account the merits of his fans thoughts on every little thing he does and says otherwise he'll never do or say anything for fear of offending someone.
Someone, somewhere will ALWAYS be offended.
Defend away! I'd never take away his right to say anything he wants as long as no one takes away my right to disagree.
I don't think that Adam has to check the pulse of the public on "every little thing" he does, but I don't think using that label for those women in public is a minor thing. It's not a deal breaker for me, but I don't think it's small in its effect.
And he doesn't need to take into account anyone else's opinions. But I consider people's opinions here (and out in the real world) on some issues, and if I don't agree with them or find a kernel of merit in them, I disregard. I thought perhaps Adam might do the same. I never thought that he had a closed mind.
