NY Times article offensive.

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by MineralMan (a host of the General Discussion forum).

So a fact based NYTimes article about the King family gets alerted and offends some people? In one example the remark was personal and not about the post. Things are getting very republican around here. LOL
