Perhaps you shouldn't be making fun of a volunteer on a public forum. Would you do this to her face?

I understand that once you pick up a microphone you become a target for criticism, but please remember that every speaker/MC/announcer is a person with feelings. Constructive criticism is one thing, but making jokes over word choice is over the top. Maybe I'm rubbed the wrong way by this over the ad hominem criticisms I've received over the years over my performances, but just try and remember that words can have real impacts on people.
