You didn't read the post, did you? Please go and read the post. Especially the following section: https://github.com/x74353/SaveAmphetamine#what-arguments-can-be-made-for-keeping-amphetamine-in-the-mac-app-store https://github.com/x74353/SaveAmphetamine#what-arguments-can... The App is named Amphetamine and not Meth which imho is a big difference.

You pointing out semantics makes zero difference to how I feel about meth/amphetamines and how regardless of semantics these are insensitive product names. When I hear “Amphetamine” I instantly think if they people I know who’s lives have been destroyed, but you feel I’m mistaken and you’ve got a good argument against my line of thinking. Telling me how to think.

  So they are insensitive to you. But this does not generalize because knowing many meth addicts does not generalize either.

  Amphetamine is what our drug companies use to make medication for those suffering with ADHD. I think you have watched too much Breaking Bad.

  How you feel has no bearing on altering the fabric of chemistry or reality. Amphetamine is not meth and no amount of crying will change that. Nor does someone naming an app "amphetamine" cause an increase in drug usage.

  Were you one of those German soldiers issued Meth during WW2 to help them fight longer and with less human emotion? Cause that’s all I think about when you talk about meth destroying lives.

  By your logic nobody should be able to call their app "lemonade" since it's a drink and some people are alcoholics What about all the people with ADHD, eating disorders, and other problems whose lives have been saved due to amphetamine? Also I take it you'll be demanding the removal of WINE from all package managers due to the existence of alcoholics?
