[SML] [EXTERNAL] Re: Old joke request

That’s carrying things a bit too far. Use a bowline, and put a statement in
the program that the “noose like knot” is not one, and that the use of said
knot is in line with the classic association with the board game.

Of course, next someone will find offense at THAT.

There’s cultural insensitivity; this is not a case of that. If it’s clearly
stated “we are not using this image to intimidate, offend, or demean,” then
I don’t personally see an issue with it.

YMMV
