Thanks, I always wondered whether I knew what anecdote meant, and you have clarified my understanding was correct all along. There is a reason people, such has me, use anecdote - its to show it is based on personal experience alone.
I've never once said my opinions are correct. Its unclear from what you have written how an opinion, being subjective, can be correct or otherwise. Perhaps you can elucidate further?
I've never once said such terms should stay. You're just making things up now to suit your narrative.
Nick Cave has his say:

Nick Cave weighs in on ‘Fairytale of New York’ controversy: ‘The BBC continue to mutilate an artefact of immense cultural value’
Attachment 4187
Cave went on to claim that the change in lyrics means that “Fairytale of New York” is no longer a “great song”.
He said that the track becomes “a song that has been tampered with, compromised, tamed, and neutered and can no longer be called a great song”.
“It is a song that has lost its truth, its honour and integrity – a song that has knelt down and allowed the BBC to do its grim and sticky business,” Cave added.
The 63-year-old went on to suggest that instead of altering the lyrics, if they were deemed to be offensive then “Radio 1 should have made the decision to simply ban the song, and allow it to retain its outlaw spirit and its dignity”.
“In the end, I feel sorry for ‘Fairytale’, a song so gloriously problematic, as great works of art so often are, performed by one of the most scurrilous and seditious bands of our time, whose best shows were so completely and triumphantly out of order, they had to be seen to believed,” he said.
“Yet, time and time again the integrity of this magnificent song is tested."
Last year, the debate around the song was reignited again, after the uncensored version was performed in the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special.

Not a big Ed Sheeran fan but this live lounge duet with Anne-Marie is a good listen
