Description Jason Stubbs (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-12-01 20:49:31 UTC 
Bad use of language - even if it's upstream's choice of words, it shouldn't be propogated.

Do we really need a "no bad language in comments" policy for Gentoo?
Comment 2 REdOG 2004-12-01 21:08:07 UTC 
what about bitchx, brainfuck, and hashit ?
bitchx might be considered derogatory.
brainfuck certianly sounds indecent
and I suppose hashit doesn't sound too bad unless you realize its a library that well has shit or is to hash it ... regardless.


there is alot more...than I care to list but
just to grab a couple as the greps roll by:

/* Bitch about the problem. */
