Tptacek has been one of the more reasonable voices on this thread and it is odd you would single him out for criticism. Your use of the word "goybucks" is very concerning.

I apologized for correcting a comment from someone who I believe isn't in a place to discuss the issue, and who would predictably contest the claim --- since we'd already had the same disagreement elsewhere, bringing it up again, however valid my concern was, was bad for the thread. The apology was in no way whatsoever a reflection of my beliefs about what actually happened.

"Goybucks" is absolutely not OK here.

I think the ship has sailed on you putting things politely in this thread.

You think quite a lot of things other people disagree with in this thread.

Though: this world's essentially an absurd place to be living in, it doesn't call for bubble withdrawal. I've been told it's a fact of life: men have to kill one another. Well, I say there are still things worth fighting for!

I hope that you discover a world worth that is worth sharing with your fellow man, in your lifetime.

Would you be ok with "abeedbucks"?

Once again, that is off-topic and unrelated to the discussion we are having.

No more than "goybucks" is.

Jews use "goy" as a slur against non-Jews. As a so called "goy", I don't find "goybucks" offensive and in fact appreciate the attempt to reclaim the word.

Would you be ok with "abeedbucks"?

If it's self-depricating, sure. I'd love to see how my two cents in goybucks measure up in the eyes of a Muslim man.
