At one time, people
|
||
in the Usenet newsgroup <tt class="systemitem">rec.humor.funny</tt> tended to use
|
||
‘JEDR’ instead of <a href="../I/IYFEG.html"><i class="glossterm">IYFEG</i></a> or
|
||
‘<ethnic>’; this stemmed from a public attempt to
|
||
suppress the group once made by a loser with initials JEDR after he was
|
||
offended by an ethnic joke posted there. (The practice was
|
||
<a href="../R/retcon.html"><i class="glossterm">retcon</i></a>ned by expanding these initials as ‘Joke
|
||
Ethnic/Denomination/Race’.) After much sound and fury JEDR faded
|
||
away; this term appears to be doing likewise. JEDR's only permanent effect
|
||
on the net.culture was to discredit ‘sensitivity’ arguments for
|
||
censorship so thoroughly that more recent attempts to raise them have met
|
||
with immediate and near-universal rejection.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="JCL.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../J.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="Jeff-K-.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">JCL </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> Jeff K.</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
