On CD, as in life, you have to say what you want carefully, (and it's a lot easier on CD, where you get to look over your words before you post them) but at the same time, if we spend all our lives trying to sidestep offending someone, we never get anything done. Did Dean Kamen worry about the minority that would hate Segways when he designed them? No, he thought about the people that would benefit from them!

And though I hate to say it, because I know in life I've offended a lot of people for blurting something out before I thought about it, but Pyro, your thread was a little offensive. Maybe if it was something like, "Are rookie teams treated like freshmen," fewer people would have been irritated. As is, I think you got more bad rep from freshmen who took offense at the negative connotation you put on their name.

But like I said, we all say and do dumb things, me especially, and sometimes all you can do is apologize.
