Squeak 17 #52 July 2, 2004 QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteThe crip numbers are not meant to hurt anyone's feelings. The intent is not what's important What is important is HOW it's received. Quote that is complete BS...you haven no control over another persons perception. Intent I determine. Perception is up to you. If you don’t ‘receive’ it the way it is intended then you have a perception problem to fix. if i decided i'm offended by the letter Q (and enough people agree) are we to stop using it?? When a message is passed and it becomes apparent that it is being mis-interpreted by a group of people or said people take offence to the message, then yes in most circumstances I would expect the message to be changed. Unless of couse the message sender cares not for the way the message is recieved and only of the right, to relay their message as is, regardless of the way it's recieved. Such a person would be a poor communicator.You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing?

Such a person would be a poor communicator. Only if you are attempting to communicate in the first place.. but in this instance there is no message. It is/was a group that decided they had a common bond, sharing a joke, that another group/individual somehow found offense. Since there is no message to be communicated, it is totally irrelevant how someone outside perceives that group, your inaccurate perception does not affect reality, and yet you expect others to change because you misperceive?? unless of course you hire enough lawyers to enforce your perception... why should someone’s desire not to be offended outweigh the desire of others to entertain themselves? Particularly when other than the personal internal mental drama created in the mind of the 'offended' parties, there is no affect to anyone not participating in the 'joke’. Unless you believe you have a right not to be offended, and that right outweighs another’s pursuit of happiness…____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Not that I really care about this AT ALL, just arguing for the sake of argument.
