Is there a valid reason, besides spite, that...
« on: August 22, 2016, 05:42:46 PM »
Is there a reason to have the system to do the change to any post or text that has the word [Sleezebag] and making it into T rump??  I find this both offensive and frankly, childish and am asking for an end to it, please.

I can't get people to stop saying its name -which is what it wants more than anything and the problem in the first place- but I can see to it it doesn't result in any Google hits.  -My place, and my responsibility to see that we're not part of the problem.

At one time it was worse.  The [Sleezebag] is actually milder than the original "solution".

I just find it exceedingly annoying, when I want to have sane and thoughtful dialogue and have to see the T thingy...  why not change it to his original family name of Drumpf (see John Oliver for reference).

...Because one is minimally intrusive; the other you suggest is almost as bad as the day its name was smilie code.

The chief aim of their constitution and government is that, whenever public needs permit, all citizens should be free, so far as possible, to withdraw their time and energy from the service of the body, and devote themselves to the freedom and culture of the mind. For that, they think, is the real happiness of life.
~Sir Thomas More ’Utopia’, Datalinks
