Woah, woah woah... STOP right there mister. I suggest if you have a remark
such as that to make to anyone on this list that you make it in private -
that kind of personal jab has no place this list. Karen was merely
suggesting he be careful not to offend conservative-minded people, of which
there ARE many, and her point is a good one. She also went on to suggest a
resource for many arias specifically for the poster's voice type. Your
over-reaction to her post is clearly due to some previous interchange
between you and Karen, which is of no concern to the rest of the list.
You're free to voice disagreement, but please don't reduce yourself or this
list to public ridicule and name-calling.

Now back to regularly scheduled programming on Vocalist.
