Fellow players. Ok, I admit it. I'm an old fart and think differently from the younger generation [just ask my neo-adult children]. However, I strongly believe in a live-and-let-live policy and abjure anyone and anything which targets groups or individuals for ridicule or discrimination. I guess 3 tours in Viet Nam affected my world view.
I find a statement in a recent "issue" particularly offensive... <so kids can enjoy good books without interference from religious wackos, like Christians>
If you agree with my sentiment, I urge you to email the game moderators and request a change in this particular issue. A small thing, but if an outhouse and crescent moon can rally thousands of moslems to get upset about an American cartoon strip calling it 'hate speech', p'raps it's time to point out this as being offensive as well. I doubt that the substitution of 'moslem' or 'jew' would appeal very much either. Let's keep it fictional.
