Makes me want to post a poll.

Gargantua makes a good point that people probably shouldn’t be offended. But lemme tell ya, when your woman asks you if her new dress makes her look fat, you might think she wouldn’t be offended if you said “Yes”.
But you know damn well she’s gonna be pissed if you say “woah lay off the carbs darlin.”
People are funny sometimes. Not just women, either.
So in strategic planner’s case is it because he/she’s insensitive? Or maybe he/she’s trying to raise cultural awareness? Or perhaps he/she was aware of the probable demographic of a primarily English-speaking forum dedicated in large part to board games published by a company in the United States that markets that particular subset of games primarily to USA, Canada, and Europe, assume that other posters would understand such things without it having to be said, and thus that people would not be offended.
Sometimes, people are TOO smart for their own good. When THEY are smart, they think OTHERS will be smart. So they don’t explain things that they otherwise might. And then people with different upbringings, cultural norms, or education get offended.
And then . . . you start to think. Maybe others really are smart, and they’re trying to undermine you. Because they want the power. They don’t want you to be respected, they have to keep you down. And maybe they’re really out to get you. Yeah. Because they know. And you have to be careful. Because they’re smart. So you act dumb, so maybe you’ll disarm their suspicions. They can’t watch everyone all the time. Even if they put spy cameras in traffic lights. Even if they put spy cameras in toilets. They can’t be everywhere. So you play dumb, and maybe you make up a cute dumb name for yourself, like “Bunnies P Wrath” or something silly like that. But you sit, and you wait. And you work on your mind control ray while working in your basement wearing your tinfoil hat. Because the day is coming, my friends, it is coming. And soon. You will know the Wrath of Bunnies P.
If you’ve already read this far . . . it’s too late. :evil:
