KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov in '85 (Idealogical Subversion & Demoralization):
"...to change the perception of reality of every American [and most
Europeans] to such an extent that despite the abundance of information
no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interests of
defending themselves.. and their country."
"The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information,
with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures. Even if I take him,
by force, to the Soviet Union and show him concentration camp, he will
refuse to believe it until he is going to receive a kick in his fat
bottom. When the military boot crashes his, then he will understand. But
not before that. That is the tragedy of this situation of demoralization."

Master/Slave wasn't thought up to OFFEND anyone nor to make any racial
connotations. You are admitting guilt where there is no guilt.
As I said earlier, every race has been enslaved at one point in there
existence or another. Black slave masters sold black slaves to white
slave traders, and yet, I hear no call for reparations for blacks from
black slave masters. No, it's only a call to whites because there's an
agenda to bring down white culture.
It starts somewhere. The current battle is to remove our language and
to impute guilt where there is none.
Again, grow up.

Do you notice how your words are nothing more than an attack on
anyone whose opinion differs from yours?
For the record, I know*many* people who are perfectly sane who find
using the terms master and slave in a technical context to be deeply
offensive.
But you denigrate anyone who doesn't agree with you.
And you whine that nothing should be changed for other people because
it's fine with you and those people are lesser than you and therefore
their feelings are unimportant.
This is exactly what I meant by, "it betrays at the very least a real
lack of empathy;" rather than make an effort to understand why people
have a difference of opinion it is simpler to attack them and
diminish them as having mental issues for daring to not toe to your
line.
The decision has been made. Anyone who doesn't like it is free to
fork their own version of Spamassassin, bind, and other packages for
whatever reason they want, even the mostly trivially selfish of reasons.
