[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5705988, member: 19675"] 1) To state the obvious, the anonymity of the Internet lowers inhibitions about saying all kinds of things. 2) The humor found in this thread is no derailment. Scatological humor is as old as humanity. It is appropriate and pervasive in the cultures, times, places echoed in most FRPGs in general, and most definitely among soldiers and mercenaries in particular. Even if the company in question did not actually call itself any such name, they would virtually be guaranteed to be called by something resembling such by rivals, allies, and employers...and possibly by members themselves. It is also something that would be seen as utterly non-controversial except [I]possibly[/I] before someone of much higher rank than yourself.
