I would never use it now because right after reading (and seeing a Menorah) I saw how others were interpreting it.
If I had seen someone use an ASCII Menorah to depict something jewish, in a way that I thought it innocuously depicted a Menorah, I still probably wouldn't use it, not because it would be bad form (as I would be still under the impression it simply depicts a jewish object), but because I don't think ASCII art beyond smileys is a clear form of art, even smileys are routinely misinterpreted as sarcasm smiles when intended as honest smiles etc...
Which of these seem more likely?
I don't do non-intrinsic polarization. I usually don't mind selecting between 2 statements if they are each others mathematical negation (intrinsic or benign polarization, I believe a statement is either true or false). But being forced to choose between 2 options that are not mathematical negations of each other is extrinsic polarization AKA a false dilemma...

- DoctorOetker 8y agoPlease don't support the mechanics of artificial polarization, especially in a thread complaining about artificial polarization...
