Thanks to everyone for keeping our language nice and polite and friendly.
After considerable thought I am asking for the below.
Occasionally we don't realize some things are offensive without meaning any harm.
So please take this as a course correction which we need to do when we know about it - again this doesn't happen often eh.
So please avoid using the word "sux" though it has become a common replacement for that's awful, terrible or wrong or whatever - its' origin is pretty foul and it has been pointed out as offensive.
For culture we have been using the breakdance clip after games - though originally funny - we thought - it is actually offensive to a large population and to a clan member - so in keeping with our way of participating in the Clan please stop using it when in a Clan Group especially - there as a ton of other emojis or clips without needing that one and effectively poking a bear in the eye.
Thanks all - I hope this goes over with understanding I love you all and value our time together more than words can say.
