hi everyone....i have remained quiet long enough. there has been alot of mean spirited, hurtfull, and disrespectfull things posted in the last few days. this is a game, an online game for no money, except for bragging rights. i know that some feel that lines were crossed with a religous comment, maybe it was, but sometimes when we type out a joke or comment it doesn't have the same effect as if it were said out loud. i personally was offended by the language that was used as a way to demean women playing this game. there is no reason ever to use c**t except for shock value. as a women i take offense to anyone being called that by a man. i'm pretty sure that i will be told to just get over it, but i will not. i would never attack someones race, or religion and i would hope that respect would be shown to gender as well.
but what has bothered me the most is bud really crossed the line by calling the place where one of the players works. tamara and colleen, i don't know what your alliance is, and to be honest whatever it is it is and i'm not going to change it. but i want you both to think about how you would feel if someone you had been playing an online game with suddenly started calling the place you work. nick said it earlier, in this day and age, safety and security is very important to everyone, and when that line is crossed it is a huge safety issue.
and for the record, the person did not say anything to me about this, in fact she has no idea that i started this thread.
