"daemon" term & explatives in code
Re: "daemon" term & explatives in code
I wish for a conjugal visit and world peace. (Don't want to seem selfish.)

B) This is more properly analogous to someone getting all PC and huffy about use of the term fagot
That said, Randidus' point (to wit):
is quite well taken. So hey...Randicus wrote:Even when trolls post something reasonably intelligent, the response is "Do not feed the troll." So why is this thread two pages long?
Just a thought.
Don't feed the troll

BTW I'm glad to see craigevil joined in this discussion. Sounds like someone who knows his daemons and demons well.

I have some gay friends who would be offended by software called 'faggots'. Some who would just find it amusing.BowCatShot wrote:...By the way, those of you who are making fun of the poster's concerns would be howling to high heaven if, instead of "daemon" daemons were named "queer" or "faggot".
No daemons, unfortunately, were available for comment; I refute it thus.

I reserve the right to quote myself since I got stuck with the last post on a page that was quickly buried by those waiting for someone to make the last post on a page so they could grab the first post on the new page...notthatguy wrote:Do you also go into titty bars and complain that they are disrespecting your faith by making you look at tittys?
If you walk into a location that has booze and tittys do you tell them they should remove the booze and tittys so that they respect your faith?
My great grandmother did not belive in drinking anything with caffeine. She simply drank water when whe visited neighbors instead of telling them they needed to throw out all products with caffeine in order to respect her faith.
Where am I going with this.....not sure....anyway...

Re: "daemon" term & explatives in code
Really? We are going to (A) Have this discussion here and (B) Also bother to report such nonsence as a "smily"? Since this thread is discussing religion and sexuality, I am locking it. Neither have a place here. I would wish you all a merry Christmas but... You know.. so instead, Happy Holodays for those having one.
