Terry,
I believe that we have been avoiding the real problem. To address what is going on, I convened an assembly of graphic designers and am authorized to release the following statement:
Graphic designers hereby apologize for the 1937 genocide we perpetrated against mechanical engineers. We request an opening of negotiations over suitable reparations. We also apologize to the young engineers molested by graphic designers over the years and will set up a truth and reconciliation tribunal to address the horrible injuries we have inflicted.
We hereby renounce the use of the terms "design" and "designers" and will promptly move to change all references to the terms to "hawking and shilling" and "manipulative capitalist lackeys," respectively.
