I get it perfectly fine. When Patrick says Canadia it seems a bit derogatory to you. That's fine. You have every right to feel that way. I'm just trying to explain to you that it isn't meant that way as it isn't a derogatory term at all. In fact, it means the exact opposite of what you are saying.

Words only mean what the speaker intends them to mean. Patrick didn't mean it to be derogatory therefore it wasn't. Neler, you called Esophagus a troll... You might want to check yourself.

Random tangent time:

Try banging your head against the keyboard, it works better. Even produces a valid config once in a while (I know your pain... sendmail's configs rather suck)

I'd suggest postfix for something sendmail compatible but a bit more sane but even that can be rather frustrating.

Default ok look

esophagus: Still you miss the point. It was never about the term being used, being derogatory or not. If I call you a pink bunny you may find it derogatory but "pink bunny" on it's own isn't.

The context in which he used it DURING AN ADVERT DIRECTED, IN PART, AT CANADA is the problem.

therage800. Check this...@#$&^&. I am a viewer who made an observation and now defend it. I have a right to do that. He was behaving like a Troll. I stand by that!

I wish I could say this is all but sadly I think you'll get back on and spew more nonsense. I just noticed that it says one of you s a moderator. If you actually work for revision3, you're pissing off your demographic. Good work! Now that a few of the shows I watch have been canceled Systm is it. Even it is starting to loose it's luster. Good work revision3!

The argument is going nowhere, so I'm going to leave it. I wasn't a moderator when this took place, for the record. And yes, now that it is, I will step back a bit from things like this. So it goes.

You alone are not Revision3's demographic. You are an outspoken individual who will not let something so mundane rest. About 3 pages ago it was established that you did not like Patrick using the term Canadia and you could have left it as that.

Could we have this thread locked? I can't see the use in it being open any longer.

Point of fact, Moderators don't work for revision3. We are community volunteers.
