[Deptheads] Re: GM complaint

[Dean Taylor]

I saw one that said, "Yes, my shirt says 'c**t'.  It also says 's**t',
'f**k', and 'machine-washable'."  (There were no asterisks.)  I don't
recall who wore it.

If I went aggro on everyone who wore an offending t-shirt, I wouldn't go to
cons.  Cons are one of the places people can wear shirts that would get
them kicked out of respectable establishments, that's part of the charm.  I
understand some people will take offense, but banning them altogether would
be a mighty shame (not to mention damn near impossible to enforce - and
don't get me started on defining 'offensive').
