Pleae Read From Webmaster: Language Concerns

[Tbird]

Hi Folks -

Normally I don't have to address this. Common sense usually prevails, however.

Here is the problem, referring to someone you had problems with or interacted with by identifying their race is not useful, and personally I find it racist. For example if you had trouble with someone what difference does it make if they were black, white, yellow, brown and spotted...none. There is no need to identify someone with their color or nationality.

This board is multicolored whether you personally realize it or not. We have a community of veterans that may or may not be the same color as you, and color and nationality are not germane to the topic at hand. Now I know our language can get a bit salty from time to time, but for the most part everyone does very well with that. Personally, in my private life my language is as salty as you would expect from an old sailor, but I try to keep it professional on the site.

So drop the color coding of folks.

Enough Said.
