I like how the name got censored. --169.232.238.84 00:10, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
- I don't, but I did it, and I don't like the noise I'd have to put up with if I hadn't. --Michael Mol 03:30, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
- "Offense is a complex emotion requiring a well-developed brain. Words and pictures do not have brains and so cannot be offensive. Any offense you feel is therefore your own fault. Think about this before misplacing blame." (from http://notstupid.us/ ) -- Eriksiers 03:05, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
- Thus one may create a few more esolangs with names like Coon, Nigger, Wop, Dago, Poofter and Faggot and no one will bat an eyelid. Ah, how wonderful it is to enjoy freedom of speech and live in a pluralistic society. --Axtens 07:17, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

- I think that anything more is getting off-topic for RC (and we're probably there already). This is not the place for sociological debates. -- Eriksiers 18:22, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

- Honestly I doubt there'd be any noise to put up with; Wikipedia gets by just fine with the uncensored version. —Underscore (Talk) 20:10, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

If in doubt, be polite! nothing of value is lost with the censoring. --Paddy3118 20:40, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
- Principle is lost. We're censoring the name of a programming language for the sake of any religious people who happen to peruse the page. If users here are anything like me and my university classmates, the censoring itself is far more offensive than the actual word being censored. --83.250.91.162 09:39, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
