and as I said: being 'correct' is not always 'right' = and remember, 'bastard' can also apply to people who act as bastards- like maybe hanging this title on an innocent baby, in this day and age.
Or as Forest might say: "Bastard is as bastard does"
Interesting that you’re the one who uses “bastard” as a derogatory word - what does it mean to “act as bastards?” The rest of us are pointing out that it is an accurate DESCRIPTION. That doesn’t mean we plan to hunt the poor child down and throw it in her face.
