Every PC I've ever owned has had some version of vi installed on it pretty much on day one of my owning it.

I mean, I don't disagree with anything you say, but that's because I have a progressive mindset. Which kind of was the point.

Yes, I agree.

But surely you can acknowledge the possibility that some people believe transgenderism is an affront to god and an existential threat to children, or whatever, then their position is not dissimilar.

That’s the issue. What makes ‘this is offensive’ more valid than ‘this is dangerous’?

This is just another front in the war between religion and reason.

I mean it's not an easy question to answer is it? How is my ideological position that 'nigger' is not acceptable and removing it makes the book suitable for modern readers any different from someone else's ideological position that, e.g., 'transgender' is not acceptable and removing it makes whatever book suitable for modern readers?

A punchier example would be And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie - the best selling murder mystery of all time - which was first published as Ten Little Niggers

Company: But you can finish work half an hour earlier this Friday, or stay and enjoy free pizza on us! Half a slice per person, max. No fancy toppings.

I hope you then sent the older guys in to the liquor store to buy you booze, as is tradition.

You should have got a gun the same caliber as the ammunition.
