I too did not find anything offensive on bearophile's site. This is the same kind of attitude, John, that brought about the death of Alan Turing. I find this post is not flamebait, but simply intolerant. Bearophile never brought his personal preferences or fantasies into this forum, you did. And that is not the way to do something like that. I can see your point that Walter or Andrei may not want D or phobos to be considered connected to something that is controversial. But just email them and have a private conversation. John, the fact that not a *single* person who has responded to your posts shares your opinion should tell you something. If I posted a picture of Jesus nailed to a cross on my blog, along with my D code, and somebody found it offensive, would you agree that I should be forced to remove this picture because it depicts murder? Bearophile's art did not hurt anyone or any animal, it is a *drawing*. Let's get back to more constructive programming discussion, and leave the bible study class at home, ok John? If you feel offended by the link to bearophile's blog, contact Andrei or Walter directly, and petition them. It matters not what we think, but if anything you most certainly have solidified in Walter and Andrei's eyes the case against your wishes. -Steve
