I have no sense of humor and do not understand humans' sarcasm personally.
However, careful examination of your message suggests a possibility that
you are calling me a "bigot", which according to dict(1) (big thanks to
Rickard E. Faith, btw! see www.dict.org) means "a prejudiced person who is intolerant
of any opinions differing from his own". I can assure you that I am not
(i.e. most people who know me would confirm) such a "bigot" and the purpose
of the original post was to remind that Linux source may be read in
educational establishments, not to mention that printk() with the "f-word"
may harm advocacy of Linux. As for there being "something wrong" about
"f-word" I do not care about it at all (as long as it does not contain any
blasphemy against the Holy Ghost) and is merely a "convention" set by a
group of people. Even if I (personally) disregard practically all of those
"conventions", having respect for their habits on one hand, and making sure
that nothing harms promotion of Linux on the other, I felt the need to mail
to linux-kernel.
That is all!
