If this goes through, it will be traumatic, however you look at it. Do
you have any suggestions how to abstract this specific example into a
more generic process to a) review all tags currently in the database; b)
all wiki content suggesting tagging; and c) all future proposals, to
assess their appropriateness in the current and likely future
environment?
I don't mean to be flippant - this is a serious suggestion. If we are
going to have this kind of discussion around any graphology
incorporating "possibly offensive" groups of letters we had better have
a proper policy in place and a well-oiled process to deal with it.
