So if one for example calls Jammeh a murderer, would that be ok and not seen
as a profanity??
If one does not have a problem with him being called a murderer then it
really beats me
why he/she should find so much offence in him being called a "dh".
If he is stupid and ignorant enough to murder defenceless kids in broad
daylight,
then I see no reason why the DH tag should not effectively apply to him, but
as all things on
this distro, it never makes any sense.

I would have thought that a murderer tag is a bigger insult than a "dh" one.

This is quite clear Habib, and you will note that I have indicated there are
two issues here, but I am addressing your statement regarding two meanings
to
a word. An insult is still an insult, and let us at least acknowledge that
while we try to sort out whatever else is an issue here. It is the profanity
that brought about the delistings now or in the past unless i am mistaken.
Bottom line is that if all of us act with dignity and agree to disagree
without insults, we will not have to waste time on trivial matters like
this.
Let us make sure we have a concensus on that because that is the truth. This
is all I am pointing out.
