[Deptheads] Re: GM complaint

[mike fryer]

I didn't notice this, and I do not think we can restrict shirts that have a
political message that some people don't like. It seems like it would be a
free speech issue.
As long as the GM is only wearing the shirt while GMing and not giving a
political speech during the game, I don't think there is a problem.
Antagonistic is not the same thing as offensive. I suggest finding out
exactly what the shirt had on it and going from there.
