The list was not targeted at any specific group, but everybody on the list obviously could be affiliated with certain groups. The list made some base camp employees feel uncomfortable. This was, in fact, offensive, juvenile and stupid, to which d h h, david hammier hanson admitted, and he said he owned it. There was some awareness within the company that the list had existed, and it wouldn't it wasn't acted upon. That is squarely on jason and my record. So they should have stopped this. People were blowing off steam. They did something that might have been totally acceptable twenty or thirty years ago on the simpsons or in a company,. and is not great.
