[mythtv-users] The historical roots of our computer terms

[Calvin Dodge]

LsrsuitLry,

Thanks for your BS.  The language police are never satisfied, as they
pursue a policy of punishing people for badthink.

Sorry, but I reject your Marxist BS, and I will not comply.

> Calvin, thank you for being so brave. To have the courage to stand up to someone who has said, “This terminology is hurtful to some, could you consider maybe changing the words you use?” with a resounding, “No, you’re stupid, and I absolutely will never change!” must take such amazing courage. I appreciate you doing your part to keep us all safe from the tyranny of treating people with kindness and respect, sir.
