Re: Regarding Dismissive/Offensive Use of Language

We have had some discussion that I (as a member of the Community Relations committee) am aware of about terminology, and my guess is that other committees are also grappling with the issue. As you point it, it's one of sensitivity and accuracy. (I haven't heard the term "feral" discussed, though it may have been by others in the organization.)

So yes, this is a problem the OTW has been considering, and must continue to do so. Thank you for your timely reminder.
