This is hardly an isolated event, it's not just a single issue on a single project. > It is about "political correctness" only in that it's genuinely hard to get some people to even consider using this free software because, and ONLY because, of its name. People that vain will find something else to dislike about it.

> This is hardly an isolated event, it's not just a single issue on a single project. It's... what, part of a grand conspiracy to destroy open source, somehow? Give me a break.

  Where did I say anything about a conspiracy or someone trying to destroy open source? The crusade is to shame people into not using language that a minority of the world deems inappropriate, it's not confined to open source. It's definitely not a conspiracy, the people that push things like this onto other people are obnoxiously open and loud about it.
