Hey Guys, I hope that you all just heard a big sigh coming out of my home state of Wisconsin. This reaction was generated after reading all of this crap focused on what I read as an attempt of humor on a Friday – certainly not political grandstanding or bigotry of any form. What Matt brought forward as levity, Art and CJ have turned into a political statement (I really do not care who totes guns or which group an individual thinks disregards laws more than others) and have therefore degraded this forum into something that I would typically avoid.
As for the term “skin-tones”, there is absolutely nothing racially orientated to this terminology - in fact it is the exact term that I use to discuss individual differences with skin color that my children (very racially mixed) ask all of the time and is the best wording that I have found yet to discuss this sensitive issue. Can we get back to jokes on Fridays or who is trying to get free licenses to translators (or EDI Systems) and standards – I enjoy this forum and do not enjoy when we digress this far? Thanks and have a great weekend ________________________________ From: Matt Brown <[email protected]> To: Art Douglas <[email protected]>; EDL LIST <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, July 16, 2010 1:10:10 PM Subject: RE: [EDI-L] <JOB> Axway Position in PHX with MFT/B2B experience I was not being racist.
