Sensationalist title. I think of "calling bullshit" as pointing out dishonesty, not just saying that you disagree. For example, if a friend said he won $50,000 in Vegas, I might say "I call bullshit...show me a receipt!"
In this case, PG made a suggestion about the name and logo. If you tell him you're going to stick with the name Reddit and the alien logo, it's not "calling bullshit" it's respectfully disagreeing.
- jack-r-abbit 13y agoTaking it even further... who knows if PG was even wrong with his suggestions. It is possible that 360scope (minus the alien) would have been just as successful as Reddit (with the alien). I don't know at which stage this suggestion was made though. At some point it becomes dangerous to make an arbitrary name change.
