I agree that people these days take things the wrong way, as in the story below. I would be more concerned if this was related to RHELx. But, since fedora is for the community to use, and not supported in a "corporate" since I do'nt see what the big deal is. THe last thing we need is a party going after the developers to stop having fun that doesn't bother 99% of us, for the other 1%, such as the one that started this thread, we have shown there are ways around having the "penis" shown thus alleviating the problem -----Original Message----- From: Timothy Payne [mailto:tim@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, August 06, 2004 1:08 AM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: Re: Inappropriate content in Fedora Core 2 This is not funny at all. My wife damn near got fired because she referred to her good friend at work as "My little Latin Lucy" as in Lucile Ball. Someone went to management and let them know they had a bigot and a racist at the firm. This went in her file, and the firm was ready to send most of the staff to training at a cost of God knows how much. But her friend from Chile, went to management and told them "You people in this country are STUPID! Did anyone ever ask me if there was a problem?" This all started by someone walking past a desk and felt it was their duty to save this woman and the firm singlehandedly. Red Hat needs to remember it's products will be used in a corporate world that freaks out at the drop of a hat, even a red one. The computer you use at work is not yours it belongs to the company that paid for it, along with your email running on their network.
