I remember not to far in the distant past that the entire group jumped on an indivisual for using a innocent metaphor, i think it was " I beat him like a step child,", as a figure of speech to tell how badly he beat his chess program. It surprising that no one consideres Bruce Moreland's use of the word "Dick Head", as offensive, Yet using a common folk metaphor such as "beat it like a step child", to illustrate a compelling victory over a chess program was universally condemned here. It clearly demonstrates one reality about CCC, which is.... it doesn't matter what you say, that counts at CCC, But who you are when you say it.!!
