I guess different communities have different settings for 'explanation- toleration' (as also 'seriousness') eg. Classical zen: If you the Buddha on the road kill him! Now :s/the Buddha/Jesus Christ/ and it suddenly seems more offensive -- not because the Buddha and Jesus Christ are all that different but because the respective communities have different seriousness defaults. And as for another teacher whose sphere of influence was a few hundred km from Jesus' I am going to be even more careful because the seriousness-defaults are set lower still... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
