[Deptheads] Re: GM complaint

[Eric Burgess]

They were all political in nature, notably unpleasant and the language on one of them was what one observer called "racist". If it were just a shirt supporting a candidate as opposed to using inflammatory remarks (but not actual profanity) to knock another, I doubt I would have heard so much about it. People can definitely be offended by stuff like this and if he's a GM, he's representing the con. We don't need to protect anyone's right to be offend at our party but others will disagree. Just my thoughts.

Full disclosure: One of the complaints I heard was from my daughter, who called Roderick "creepy and mean" but it was someone else who said one of the shirts was "racist".
