"sex appeal." somebody should reconsider this phrase. Doesn't this go against Citizendium's family-friendly policy? (Chunbum Park 21:04, 31 January 2008 (CST))

I very much doubt it can plausibly be regarded as in conflict with our family-friendly policy. The question is simply whether it is something both interesting and true--according to a sizeable number of people who know about (and love?) Vanessa Mae. When presented with the proposition of whether someone is a "sexy babelicious hottie," I consult Google Image search. Go ahead, try it. The comment seemed well-placed.

Robert, you say, "The initial author of this stub was also warned for material posted in CZ previously.

JS saying that does not mean that the initial author was "warned" in any way.
