Well that seems like a generalization, and I think you'll find (as this thread clearly proves) that plenty of people thought it was a little more offensive than you did( edit: , regardless of how reasonable those emotions may have been.) Regardless of whether or not me and you find out insulting, it's a little more important whether your community find it insulting. Clearly there is a significant amount of the community who did think it was insulting. Deej's one job is as a liason to the community. There is no argument that this weekly update could have avoided all of this drama with a simple edit.

I suppose we will have to agree to disagree, including on whether or not this thread "proves" that reasonable people should be offended by the update in the context of all the nonsense that goes on around here on a daily bases. (edit: or honestly not in that context either)

It doesn't matter whether or not the butthurt is reasonable. His job as a public relations liason is to try to make as little butthurt as possible. He failed. And the mistake is starting us in the face in the weekly update. Period.

When it stops mattering if what people say or do is reasonable our society is in big trouble.

I'm sorry but i live in a democracy and its vital that there is a diverse amount of opinion. Well reasoned or not, it's this diversity of opinion that keeps things honest and promotes forward thinking discussions.
