> I object to the term SSL. It is a deep insult to my culture. We should rename it because of that. Who are you to question my being offended?

Don't do this. You and I both know this is just an example you're pulling out to take a controversial stance and doing a disservice to the people voicing their earnest concerns. You can feel free to disagree with them, but arguing like this is just... mean-spirited.

Don’t do this. You’re pretending to know what the op is thinking, aside from what they actually said.

You can't possibly be trying to argue that the OP actually does find the term "SSL" as abhorrent as some of the terms being considered, such as "master/slave", are you? That the OP legitimately feels this way and is not just pulling something out of their behind for the sake of arguing disingenuously?

God I feel like I’m on reddit with nonsense comments like theirs. It’s baffling how they can’t see why master/slave MIGHT be an issue and compare it arbitrary offenses.
