No, I made a mistake. I thought "Site Support" was just that, I expected/intended no discussion there, just a response from a MOD of "OK" or "get bent. I quoted the OP in the military section to discuss it in a forum where it would be more relevant.
Do we honestly think anyone meant any disrespect to members of the military? If not, then why chose to interpret it in that way and if we do honestly think that there is some "hate and disrespect military" campaign going on, why wait for them to say something to express our displeasure? Words can be interpreted many different ways; it's our choice on how we chose to interpret them. Take for instance the name of Couv's dive club, Coonass. I have some Cajun friends that would be very tempted to punch me in the face if I used that word, which to some means, "ignorant, backwards Cajun" or something similar. However, there are just as many who use the term as a badge of honor (obviously as I highly doubt Couv is intending to insult every Cajun he meets, especially if he's from New Orleans :-) ) - much the same as the term Redneck from my "neck" of the woods.
