I'm not completely humorless, Pete. It's just my -personal- opinion that you have a tendency to go over the boundaries of good taste, for lack of a better phrase, as well as a tendency to insert OT content into almost every thread you participate in. And when I saw this particular message, I couldn't hold back my own OT comment. Maybe because my wife is from India (imported legally into this country back in the early 70s so no, I did not outsource her...;)
I'm trying to not engage in a personal attack here, unlike you, but if you can't see how your comment can easily be construed as racist as opposed to being "a bad pun", then I suppose my gentle suggestion that you think twice before posting is falling on deaf ears. Please continue to exercise your constitutional right to free speech, as you see fit. If you really want to continue this conversation, feel free to email me directly as I'm done with this particular thread and I don't want to waste anyone's time here in the non-OT section of Profox. -- rk -----Original Message----- From: profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Pete Theisen Sent: Wednesday, September 21, 2011 11:26 PM To: profoxt...@leafe.com Subject: Re: [NF] Programmers From India Richard Kaye wrote: > Pete, you really need to think twice or maybe even 3 times before you hit > that send button. Hi Richard, If you have never heard of brownie points, you have never worked a job that involves real work. Sure, invoking it in this connection is a bad pun on skin color of Obama and the Indians. So what? We have a class of people who are so good they can't be joked about? Oh, I know - you are so good you can't be joked *to*. Thanks for clearing that up if that's it. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/DF1EEF11E586A64FB54A97F22A8BD04419F2CA54F0@ACKBWDDQH1.artfact.local ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
